Dear Mr. and Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. The project is simple. As WikiData is free
and is easily available to everyone. We can use it to solve several medical
and clinical matters that already exist in medical institutions. In fact,
several researches like "Daouas, F., Abdelaziz, A. B., Ajmi, T. N., &
Mtiraoui, A. (2002). Les attitudes professionnelles humaines des médecins de
la région sanitaire de Sousse (Tunisie). Santé publique, 14(2), 135-145."
have reported that physicians who generally learn Medicine in French or in
English have difficulties in communicating with their illiterate patients
and in explaining them their health situations because physicians do not
know the synonyms of the medical terms they need to use in the local
language like Tunisian, Afrikaans or Hausa... Effectively, limited
literature have been written to solve this problem. However, in WikiData,
you can find the synonym of each disease in such underresourced languages.
Moreover, physicians can forget the name of a disease or a drug as they
learnt thousands of them in their Medicine career. There is no literature
that can be used to find the name of a disease by only knowing its symptoms
for example. However, using a SPARQL Wikidata query, you can find the name
of a given disease in any language you want by just entering its symptoms,
its genetic association or the name of its drug... Furthermore, WikiData can
be used to verify if there is an interaction between two drugs, a genetic
association of a disease and a genetic marker of a microbe as shown in
several studies. This is an overview about how WikiData can be currently
used for Medicine. I ask about your opinion of these facts.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki

Dear Mr. Turki
Your proposal sounds interesting. If my scholarship is approved, I could
participate. Could you enlighten me more on the topic?

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I have worked since 2016 about writing a comment to an excellent
research journal about how to use WikiData in Medicine. After months of
work, I found that there are many information to involve in such work and
that a comment to a research journal cannot involve such detailed
explanations. That is why I decided to do a Wikimania proposal about it. The
link to this proposal is
https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Using_WikiData_in_Medi….
However, I cannot do this without having one or two excellent collaborators
who can ameliorate this proposal, write with me the proceedings paper and
edit the presentation for the conference. This contributor can even present
the work if my grant proposal is not accepted. So, I invite all the Wiki
Project Med users who want to collaborate to the work to add their name as
authors to the proposal and to adjust the Wikimania proposal. I will later
contact them to discuss about what should be done after the adjustment of
the Wikimania 2017 proposal.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
