Wikidata will have ingested PubMed's citations in the WikiCite project by the end of 2018.

There is no offline Wikidata search system. However, if anyone wanted an offline interactive PubMed, I expect that the easiest way to get to that point would be through Wikidata.

I wasn't referrring to IIAB or LibraryBox, but they're very interesting and I'll learn more. Do you know if anyone has used either of these systems to run a local instance of PubMed? The NLM's applications require a lot of higher-end command-line knowledge to use. I'm interested if anyone has produced an offline system for searching Pubmed that is user friendly and suitable for resource-austere settings.

Hi Richard,

We, at WikiProjectMed Foundation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med>, are manufacturing
Internet-in-a-box <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box>
(IIAB).
This holds medical content and then some, and is a hotspot that 30 ppl can
access.

Cheers,
Shani Evenstein

I suspect you mean the WikiReader:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiReader

Nowadays, Kiwix does the job rather well on most platforms.

Forgot to mention that if you're describing 4-5 years ago, you probably
remember Kiwix <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kiwix_-_Wikipedia_Offline>,
which has kinda morphed into IIAB.
