Research:Wikidata in Medicine: What, why and how
This page is an incomplete draft of a research project.
Information is incomplete and is likely to change substantially before the project starts.
Wikidata is a high-scale ontological database initially created to support Wikipedia in 2012 but has grown in use since that. In this research project, we introduce Wikidata as a structured database representing the sum of Biomedical knowledge and provide an overview of its features. Then, we provide methods based on Bibliometric-Enhanced information retrieval to enrich, verify and absolutely enhance Biomedical information available in Wikidata. Finally, we discuss the use of Wikidata and other ontologies for a variety of tasks such as the recommendation of medical services, Biomedical Natural Language Processing and Biomedical Decision Support.

Policy, Ethics and Human Subjects Research
[edit]It's very important that researchers do not disrupt Wikipedians' work. Please add to this section any consideration relevant to ethical implications of your project or references to Wikimedia policies, if applicable. If your study has been approved by an ethical committee or an institutional review board (IRB), please quote the corresponding reference and date of approval.
Results
