Would that be "Passing On"?

At the WMUK education summit yesterday somebody - I regret that I don't recall who - mentioned a tool that scrapes a US newspaper for obituaries, and matches them to Wikipedia articles (or highlights missing Wikipedia articles).

It was suggested that we might have a UK equivalent.

On checking, I see that the Guardian have an RSS feed for their obituaries:

  https://www.theguardian.com/tone/obituaries/rss

Is anyone interested in working on such a tool (or adapting the US one)?
