Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. We are writing now a scientific publication in which we explain how and why we should use Wikidata in Medicine. We will explain first the knowledge-related matters faced by physicians and other health specialists. Then, we introduce Wikidata as a major medical knowledge database and explain its structure and the useful medical information it contains. Finally, we will explain how Wikidata can solve the knowledge-related problems faced by medical scientists and expose successful experiences of using Wikidata for the support of medicine. We are managing to publish this brief report as an editorial in Journal of Biomedical Semantics or in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. I ask if someone is interested to join this effort.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. As there is no page that specifies the research output about Wikimedia and Medicine, I had created such a page in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med/Research. Please complete it if it is missing some works. I will also try to update it when I have time.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. I analyzed Wikidata using Wikidata query service to find if all medical entities have labels in all common languages. I found that only English labels exist for quite all the entities. That is why I ask if you have implemented French MeSH (http://mesh.inserm.fr/FrenchMesh/) and German MeSH (https://www.dimdi.de/dynamic/de/klassi/downloadcenter/mesh/mesh2018/) as labels to Medical Wikidata entities. I also ask if it is possible to contact the authors of the Chinese-English MeSH so that this database can be indexed in Wikidata as labels to Wikidata entities (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167923607001315).
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
