Hi Daniel,
Thanks for getting in touch and for the useful information. After 2 rounds of feedback from the community via StrepHit's dissemination activities, I have opted for the biographical domain. Cf. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Val...
The biomedical domain is next in line: while it is out of scope for the project time frame (6 months), I believe it will be an excellent use case in case of an extension.
Thanks again. Cheers,
Marco

Thanks, Marco - I just watched the video and would be interested in knowing whether you have picked your focus by now from the three domains you suggested (biographies, companies, biomedical) or perhaps something else. If you go for biomedical, there would be overlap with https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Medicine and probably also https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:ProteinBoxBot , all of which have a number of active people who I'd expect to be interested in a test run of your pipeline on biomedical topics.
In any case, I would welcome it if you would include PubMed into your set of reliable third-party sources. We already have about 17k Wikidata items with a PubMed ID (cf. http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=claim%5B698%5D ), which are increasingly being used as references for Wikidata statements (cf.http://tinyurl.com/zhauolt ), but we have barely scratched the surface of what needs to be done here (the English Wikipedia alone has ca. 30k medical articles, many of them heavily referenced to sources indexed by PubMed).
So far, the link of those 17k items to Wikipedia is just that almost all of the corresponding papers have been cited on some Wikipedia (some come also from Wikispecies, Wikisource or other Wikimedia sites), albeit not always using a PubMed ID (sometimes via DOI, PubMed Central ID or via a link or in some other way).

Cheers, Marco 2015-12-23 17:03 GMT+01:00 Marco Fossati <fossati@spaziodati.eu <mailto:fossati@spaziodati.eu>>: [Begging pardon if you read this multiple times] Hi everyone, I would like to announce with great pleasure the StrepHit IEG project kick-off seminar. Of course, you are all invited to attend. The event will be held in a special day: Wikipedia's birthday! Below you can find the details. Schedule: 15 January 2016, 11:00 am, Luigi Stringa Conference Room Location: Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Via Sommarive 18, Povo, Trento, Italy -http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28933739 Abstract: We kick-off StrepHit, a project funded by the Wikimedia Foundation through the Individual Engagement Grants program. StrepHit is a Natural Language Processing pipeline that understands human language, extracts facts from text and produces Wikidata statements with reference URLs. It will enhance the data quality of Wikidata by suggesting references to validate statements, and will help Wikidata become the gold-standard hub of the Open Data landscape.
