Re: [Wikimedia-l] Generated texts

Hoi, We have often had discussions about generating texts to be used in Wikipedia articles. The drawback of articles that are generated in this way is that they do not get updated as more information becomes available. The data in Wikidata is comparable with the kind of data often used in such processes. The first kind texts that are generated bu the Reasonator are based on the biographic information of a person. As Johann Sebastian Bach is a great example of the power of both Wikidata and Reasonator, I invite you to have a look [1]. The text is completely generated based on the information in Wikidata and Magnus is very much in the process of iterating this functionality. What I hope you will see as a challenge is writing similar functionality for other languages. What I hope for is that the Wikidata development team will appreciate this for what its potential and support it when it is found that additional technology is needed. Thanks, GerardM [1] http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=Q1339 _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
