Prepare MeSH terms for integration with Wikidata #6

Closed Daniel-Mietchen closed 6 years ago

Daniel-Mietchen commented 6 years ago

This ticket is just to report on a side project: there is a tool called Mix'n Match that can be used to match concepts between Wikidata and external IDs.

Medical Subject Headings are a set of such external IDs that has not been completely mapped to Wikidata (and that is evolving too). 3 subcatalogs of MeSH had already been imported into Mix'n Match by @stuppie, who provided me with source files for the other 13 subcatalogs that I then simply imported into Mix'n Match. To see them and help match the concepts, go here and search for "MeSH" on that page, then select any of the hits.

Thanks to another tool by @magnusmanske that I tested today, reporting on the progress of the MeSH integration into Wikidata simply amounts to running a SPARQL query and checking whether the results have been edited during the time of interest:

SELECT ?q { ?q wdt:P486 ?MeSH . }
