chem-bla-ics: Happy Birthday, Wikidata!

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-10-29

Summary:

"Wikidata celebrates their 5th birthday with a great WikidataCon in Berlin. Sadly, I could not join in person, so I assuming it is a great meeting, following the #WikidataCon hash tag and occasionally the live stream. Happy Birthday, Wikidata! My first encounter was soon after they started, and was particularly impressed by the presentation by Lydia Pintscher at the Dutch Wikimedia Conferentie 2012. I had played with DBPedia occasionally but always disappointed by the number of issues with extracting chemistry from the ChemBox infobox, but that's of course the general problem with data that has been mangled into something that looks nice. We know that problem from text mining from PDFs too. Of course, if you start with something machine readable in the first place, your odds for success are much higher."
