Hi!
I am a synthetic biologist. I see big changes in the way we do science and how we will publish in the future.
I see a huge need to publish all scientific data (especially raw data) in a common free accessible data pool. This data should be machine readable. We face in science huge data amounts, huge number of publications. Nobody is longer able to read all the literature. We need a computer assisted system to analyze these data and develop novel concepts from them. We need a structuring of these data on a higher abstraction level. We need to be able to go from abstraction to detail.
Thus I see the Wiki data project of potentially big value for scientist. I would like that this project could serve in that manner the scientific community and provide standards for submission of data for scientist. Any plans in this direction?
Hi!
It is up to the community to later decide what goes into Wikidata and what doesn't. So I can't give you a "yes this will be ok" or "no this will not happen". However if this is not going to happen in Wikidata itself there is probably demand for a separate instance where this would be possible.
