New paper: "RDFIO: extending Semantic MediaWiki for interoperable biomedical data management"
When I was still doing research at Uppsala University, I had a internship student, Samuel Lampa, who did wonderful work on knowledge representation and logic (check his thesis). In that same period he started RDFIO, a Semantic MediaWiki extension to provide a SPARQL end point and some clever feature to import and export RDF. As I was already using RDF in my research, and wikis are great way to explore how to model domain data, particularly when extracted from diverse literature, I was quite interested. Together we worked on capturing pKa data, and Samuel had put DrugMet online. Extracting pKa values from primary literature is a lot of laborious work and crowdsourcing did not pick up. This data was migrated to Wikidata about a year ago.
