Thanks Lydia,
agreed, the tool absolutely is useful and many thanks to you, Lucie and your team, for providing it!!!!
However, it is difficult for me to say what needs to be resolved on the tools level and what on Wikidata content. What I observe looks to me (but I may be wrong) a mashup-error occurring when uncritically combining data from different sources, each source being internally consistent and correct. This may be something that needs to be addressed by the tool.
Good point, yes. Any ideas how?
The problem with different labels and singular/plural may or may not be a tool problem in choosing the correct label
It just takes the label of the item. There is a taxon name property. Would that be a useful alternative? Input from the experts needed.
One problem I have when using the tool to try to understand what is going on: It should variously wikidata and wikipedia pages, making it somewhat difficult to follow what goes on. E.g. Biota is a wikidata page, bacteria is a wikipedia page...
Right. It shows the Wikipedia article if there is one in the language you selected and otherwise Wikidata. Better to always show Wikidata?
So again thanks for doing this great work!
All thanks go to Lucie ;-)
Cheers Lydia
