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.
