Another dream of mine is an annotator that could save
"facts" in Wikidata
statements.
We could reald a newspaper online, or a book, or an article on a scientific
blog, and highlight a short sentence, and this sentence would be a
statement (Item has a Property Value), with a source (the original
document).
I bet this is not *so* difficult.
At first I thought you meant that it would be good to implement this in
Zotero
https://www.zotero.org/ , Annotator
https://github.com/okfn/annotator , or a similar tool, to help a user
keep track of their own favorite Wikidata facts. Now I understand :)
that you'd like, perhaps, a client-side browser plugin or script that
takes some highlighted text, offers the user a GUI to fix up the
statement and source, and then feeds it into Wikidata. Am I right?
