Document activities in the framework of the "Robustifying Scholia" project

[Daniel-Mietchen]

As the project is starting, we need to document its activities.

[Daniel-Mietchen]

To get things started, I have set up a new GitHub project "Robustifying Scholia" inside this GitHub repo. Not sure yet whether that's something suitable for the duration of the project, but it seems good enough for the start.

[Daniel-Mietchen]

I have set up https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Scholia/Robustification for on-wiki documentation.

[Daniel-Mietchen]

Here are the six main goals from the proposal:

1. Back-end development and testing with pilot corpora
2. Redesign of the Scholia user interface for better usability, e.g. site navigation and internationalization
3. Improving integration with WikiCite curation workflows, e.g. around missing data
4. Enhancing Wikidata-based reference management for scholarly writing workflows
5. Establishing metrics to generate usage stats for Scholia pages and key bibliographic properties and items
6. Improving documentation of corpus, code, queries, workflows, examples and related resources, as well as limits of Scholia

These should be mapped to our tickets/ projects/ milestones here in a way that is more straightforward than what we currently have.

We have two additional goals informally made outside the proposal Increases in usage following v1.0 release

1. At least doubling of both total users and depth of engagement metrics (e.g. number of pages/queries per session) within six months of launch
2. Continued integration of Scholia visualizations into Wikipedia pages and other information resources

"number of pages/queries per session" would be difficult to establish due to the restricted log we have. Perhaps if we had a login.
