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)?
