Hi Daniel,

Thanks for getting in touch and for the useful information.
After 2 rounds of feedback from the community via StrepHit's dissemination activities, I have opted for the biographical domain. Cf. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Validation_via_References/Timeline#Biographies

The biomedical domain is next in line: while it is out of scope for the project time frame (6 months), I believe it will be an excellent use case in case of an extension.

Thanks again.
Cheers,

Marco

Thanks, Marco - I just watched the video and would be interested in
knowing whether you have picked your focus by now from the three
domains you suggested (biographies, companies, biomedical) or perhaps
something else. If you go for biomedical, there would be overlap with
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData
and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Medicine
and probably also
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:ProteinBoxBot  ,
all of which have a number of active people who I'd expect to be
interested in a test run of your pipeline on biomedical topics.

In any case, I would welcome it if you would include PubMed into your
set of reliable third-party sources. We already have about 17k
Wikidata items with a PubMed ID (cf.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=claim%5B698%5D  ),
which are increasingly being used as references for Wikidata
statements (cf.http://tinyurl.com/zhauolt  ), but we have barely
scratched the surface of what needs to be done here (the English
Wikipedia alone has ca. 30k medical articles, many of them heavily
referenced to sources indexed by PubMed).

So far, the link of those 17k items to Wikipedia is just that almost
all of the corresponding papers have been cited on some Wikipedia
(some come also from Wikispecies, Wikisource or other Wikimedia
sites), albeit not always using a PubMed ID (sometimes via DOI, PubMed
Central ID or via a link or in some other way).
