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 Chair, WikiProject Med Foundation.

Hi Richard,

Might you be referring to Jason Griffey’s Library Box http://librarybox.us/ (modeled after Pirate Box https://piratebox.cc/faq)?

Four or five years ago, I had a neat gadget that was a stand-alone, non-networked Wikipedia instance. I have no recollection of what it was called or where it was available from. Does this ring a bell with

anyone?

...

Is there anything new along these lines that is being produced for distribution in resource-poor settings?
