[Wiki-research-l] Wikipedia-Europe PMC hackathon
Sorry if this is the wrong list, please feel free to distribute as appropriate. Details (developing) here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computational_Biology/EBI_hackathon_on_September_4,_2015 Message from Jo McEntyre: We are organising a Wikipedia-Europe PMC hackathon on 4th Sept on the genome campus, around the Wikipedia Science conference https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Wikipedia_Science_Conference. With Daniel Mietchen, the three themes we have identified are: - contributing datasets e.g. data citations, text-mined entities from Europe PMC to Wikidata & possibly seeing this pushed through to some Wikipedia pages - import of full text articles into Wikisource and potential highlighting named entities - pushing PMID-PMCID-DOI mapping to Wikidata/Wikipedia We would very much like you to attend! ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
Re: [Wiki-research-l] # of citations on Wikipedia?
On this topic, will Wikipedia ever implement a 'citation tool'? I'm thinking something like Mendeley or EndNote for wiki text? It would be great to have citations more formally implemented within MW (via an extension). Cheers, Dan.

[Wiki-research-l] Analysis of spelling mistakes in WP vs. 'other' sites?
Hi, Many people in my professional circle berate the quality of Wikipedia (without any grounds, IMHO). It occurred to me recently that one simple example of the quality of Wikipeida is the fact that you can almost guarantee (IME) the correctness of the spelling in WP. Has anyone ever done a systematic analysis of the number of spelling errors compared to 'other' sites? It seems that when reading read-only corporate or academic websites, spelling mistakes are not infrequent. This would be a nice factoid to be able to throw out when the next person says "well, I read it in WP so...". (Of course I'm assuming spelling is a proxy for overall quality, which is clearly arguable, but it's a good sign ;-).

Since you both use SMW, it would be great to develop some way of directly sharing data between the two wikis. (I'm currently researching that now for a different project). So far the only mechanism I have found is via the 'remote query' feature of the exhibit extension: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Exhibit_format Oh, I also just remembered this, which would be a great way for you to set up sharing between wikis: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DSMW Perhaps it will be possible to add something to the regular query syntax to allow 'remote queries'? Talking of data sharing, do you both use the same (standard?) data model for describing publications? i.e. using the Dublin core ontology?

Re: [Wiki-research-l] List of papers: 2596.
Awesome! The January edition of the NAR [1] database issue [2] will have a focus on wikis, so you might want to look out for that too. Cheers, Dan.
