- Abstract
Since late 2015, Wikidata items with some relation to Zika virus (Q202864) have been started and interlinked in a systematic fashion, which has led to the Zika corpus. It is used for exploring information around this topic but also has found secondary uses, e.g. testing purposes and as a teaching resource. In this session, I will outline how the corpus has grown, how it is structured, how it is used, what could come next and what we have learned in the process.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
- A better idea on the challenges and opportunities of growing Wikidata content by topic are rather than by item, class, language or property.
- Slides or further information
Slides will be linked from here by the time the session starts.
