Hi Markus, everyone,
The project proposal is currently in active development. I would like to focus now on the dissemination of the idea and the engagement of the Wikidata community. Hence, I would love to gather feedback on the following question:
Does StrepHit sounds interesting and useful for you?
It would be great if you could report your thoughts on the project talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statement...
Cheers!

Dear Marco,
Sounds interesting, but the project page still has a lot of gaps. Will you notify us again when you are done? It is a bit tricky to endorse a proposal that is not finished yet;-)

Hi everyone,
As Wikidatans, we all know how much data quality matters. We all know what high quality stands for: statements need to be validated via references to external, non-wiki, sources.
That's why the primary sources tool is being developed: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool And that's why I am preparing the StrepHit IEG proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Val...
StrepHit (pronounced "strep hit", means "Statement? repherence it!") is a Natural Language Processing pipeline that understands human language, extracts structured data from raw text and produces Wikidata statements with reference URLs.
As a demonstration to support the IEG proposal, you can find the **FBK-strephit-soccer** dataset uploaded to the primary sources tool backend. It's a small dataset serving the soccer domain use case. Please follow the instructions on the project page to activate it and start playing with the data.
What is the biggest difference that sets StrepHit datasets apart from the currently uploaded ones? At least one reference URL is always guaranteed for each statement. This means that if StrepHit finds some new statement that was not there in Wikidata before, it will always propose its external references. We do not want to manually reject all the new statements with no reference, right?
If you like the idea, please endorse the StrepHit IEG proposal!
