StrepHit & Wikidata Primary Sources tool: call for partnership

by Marco Fossati

Hi everyone, This is Marco, the project leader of StrepHit: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Va… StrepHit is a Web agent that reads authoritative sources and feeds Wikidata with references, thus improving the data quality of Wikidata. The first 6 months of work have been funded through an Individual Engagement Grant and have led to the release of the first version. Its datasets are now in the Wikidata *primary sources tool*: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Semi-automatic_… I am contacting you since I believe you are a strategic partner that could contribute to the radical uplift of the tool: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Va… If you have any thoughts for improvement, feel free to comment on the renewal proposal via its talk page. If you agree that the primary sources tool requires a boost, please consider an endorsement of the StrepHit renewal! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Va… Best, Marco
