Dear Wikidatans,
last year, we applied for a Wikimedia grant to feed qualified data from Wikipedia
infoboxes (i.e. missing statements with references) via the DBpedia software into
Wikidata. The evaluation was already quite good, but some parts were still missing. Now we
apply again with a modified though similar proposal and we would like to ask for your
support and feedback.
GlobalFactSync will produce a tool that identifies and visualises differences in infobox
facts across available language versions, it suggests changes to Wikipedia and Wikidata
editors when redacting infoboxes and Wikidata items according to data available from other
Wikimedia projects. The project grant proposal can be found here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/DBpedia/GlobalFactSync
Of course, any comment is more than welcome on the discussion page. The proposal is still
in a draft form (deadline January 31st), we would be very happy to hear your comments.
All the best,
Magnus, Sebastian and Julia
