Hello,

The Gene Wiki team [1] is currently loading and synchronizing several
biomedical ontologies from the OBO Foundry [2]. We do have somewhat
generalizable code for creating Wikidata importers from OWL files [3].  For
the moment, we have held back doing mass imports of *all* CC0 ontologies
because each bot still requires customization and maintenance, and keeping
the synchronization current is a continual challenge [4].  (And, as a
general principle we only import resources that we ourselves have a
tangible use for to avoid "stamp collecting".)  If there are specific
ontologies that you are interested in importing, we are happy to coordinate
to avoid duplication of effort.

Best,
-andrew
