Hey :)
Our experience with the team of HPI students working on the entity
suggester was very good so we decided to take on another team of 6
students from there. I'm very happy about that. They'll be working
with us for 6 months. The overall topic they will be working on is
data quality and trust. It splits into 3 large areas:
* improving constraint violation reports and expanding them
* making it possible to check against 3rd party databases
* making referencing data more user friendly to encourage more references
That's what we have so far. More planning and brainstorming will
happen over the next weeks.
I started 2 pages. It'd be awesome if you could provide your input for
them on the current situations and what you'd like to see there:
