Hey All,
There is a proposal for a new Wikimedia Foundation Sister Project (WikiSandy) posted 11 may 2017
open proposals. If you could please weigh in on the proposed project. Thanks in advance for comments.
In a nutshell:
What’s unique about WikiSandy?
· WikiSandy is an
en.wikipedia.org specific experimental search
engine that indexes Wikipedia data semantically, based on sentence structure; subject,
subject complement, or direct object, etc. versus just key words.
· It typically returns full sentences for the user
to review.
· take Me
there (tMt) links to sentences in the actual source articles allowing the
user to jump directly to that sentence no matter where it is in the article!
· WikiSandy answers follow-up questions
maintaining context. This means you can
search for Abraham Lincoln, get results, and then ask, “What did he do?”, and get relevant results.
· Click aLike
to view other documents with the same sentence discovered by WikiSandy. This shows you other articles on the same
topic.
· Tell Me
Something will bring you to random query results.
· Example
Questions will give you some demo queries.
