Dario,
One message you can send is that they can and should use existing
controlled vocabularies and ontologies to construct the metadata they want
to share. For example, MeSH descriptors would be a good way for them to
organize the 'primary topic' assertions for their articles and would make
it easy to find the corresponding items in Wikidata when uploading. Our
group will be continuing to expand coverage of identifiers and concepts
from vocabularies like that in Wikidata - and any help there from
publishers would be appreciated!
My view here is that Wikidata can be a bridge to the terminologies and
datasets that live outside it - not really a replacement for them. So, if
they have good practices about using shared vocabularies already, it should
(eventually) be relatively easy to move relevant assertions into the
WIkidata graph while maintaining interoperability and integration with
external software systems.

In terms of markup, some general comments are in
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK159964/ , which is not specific
to Hindawi but partly applies to them too.
A problem specific to Hindawi (cf.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_from_Hindawi) is the
bundling of the descriptions of all supplementary files, which
translates into uploads like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evolution-of-Coronar
y-Flow-in-an-Experimental-Slow-Flow-Model-in-Swines-Angiogra
phic-and-623986.f1.ogv
(with descriptions for nine files)
and eight files with no description, e.g.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evolution-of-Coronar
y-Flow-in-an-Experimental-Slow-Flow-Model-in-Swines-Angiogra
phic-and-623986.f2.ogv
.
There are other problems in their JATS, and it would be good if they
would participate in
http://jats4r.org/ . Happy to dig deeper with Andrew or whoever is
interested.
Where they are ahead of the curve is licensing information, so they
could help us set up workflows to get that info into Wikidata.
In terms of triple suggestions to Wikidata:
- as long as article metadata is concerned, I would prefer to
concentrate on integrating our workflows with the major repositories
of metadata, to which publishers are already posting. They could help
us by using more identifiers (e.g. for authors, affiliations, funders
etc.), potentially even from Wikidata (e.g. for keywords/ P921, for
both journals and articles) and by contributing to the development of
tools (e.g. a bot that goes through the CrossRef database every day
and creates Wikidata items for newly published papers).
- if they have ways to extract statements from their publication
corpus, it would be good if they would let us/ ContentMine/ StrepHit
etc. know, so we could discuss how to move this forward.
