Wikidata

Wikidata

Wikidata here is short for the community, not just the database itself, but also involves all the tools around it, such as Scholia.

Wikidata is a node in the Linked Open Data cloud. It has a rich model of statements, which are not unlike nanopublications. A key interoperability layer is the RDF export, allowing SPARQL queries. The data is licenced/waived under CCZero, and trivial to integrate. It already is has a lot of information about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

Goals

Here's a number of possible ideas (and more on the Wikidata:WikiProject COVID-19 page):

Schema modelling

• better Wikidata model for clinical trials
• work on properties of clinical trials databases outside clinicaltrials.gov
• model for antibodies

Data donations/imports

Reuse/Visualizations and analysis

• better Scholia visualization of relevant data
• tools for faster, more efficient annotation with research papers with "main subject"

Communication

• Slack channel
• Wikidata:WikiProject COVID-19 and its Discussion Page
