Hello Hjfocs,

I read your proposal and the information in the project chat. I read at your userpage that you work about Natural Language Processing. This is a interesting field of work. Do you think it is possible to use it for creating Lists out of Wikidata. I think it can be used for querying content of Wikidata. I tried something like that on my own about 1 year ago and it worked for some things very good. I think it is possible to query the most content of Wikidata in that way and the most queries can be described in mostly the same way in a natural language sentence. Are you interested in creating a project for that. I think it is possible to do that without Artificial Infelligence or Neuronal Networks. A example for how the queries could look like is the tool Wikistats Version 2. There you can enter defined questions and then you see the results. If this technology could be used in a modified way in Wikidata it were great. For example that it is possible to enter the question how many pages have been edited in Wikidata? and then you get the result. At this example the word Wikidata would be the position of the question who is variable can be changed into another Wiki for what the user entering the query is looking for. I hope you understand what I mean.

Hi there and thanks for reaching out!

It sounds like you are talking about a specific research area, namely question answering over knowledge bases. I'm not an expert of that particular task, but you can start from en:Question_answering to grasp the concepts. You can also have a look at Christina's, Axel's and Philipp's work for a deeper dive.

Hope this helps!
