Make a little app for crowd sourced manual annotations.

Something really basic, just so people can contribute whenever they have 2-3 minutes available. Maybe even a Shiny App could work for that. I plan to work on this, but any contribution (intellectually or code-wise) is super welcome.

The app would :

• [ ] Get abstract and title given a PMID or
• [ ] Get a random article published by eLife

---

• [ ] Display the title and abstract for the user
• [ ] Display a link for the entry on EuropePMC

---

• [ ] Display a text input button for the concept annotated

• [ ] Display a text input button for the Wikidata ID

• [ ] Add constraints and error messages

• [ ] Constraint for concept: Text annotated has to be a exact string match with abstract or title.

• [ ] Constraint for ID: has to match the pattern "Q[0-9]*" or similiar (format of a QID)

---

Local version

• [ ] Annotations are individually stored as a tsv pairs (" concept \t wikidata ID" ) with a standard name ("ann.tsv")

Online version

• [ ] Annotation is individually stored saved in a server as a tsv pair (" concept \t wikidata ID" ) (might be tricky to configure!)
• [ ] Saved annotations are uploaded in a publically readable Google Spreadsheet (might be tricky to configure!)

---

In that way, anyone could just come and annotate a couple concepts here and there. It would help us to understand what can currently be annotated and how people interact with Wikidata annotations.

Any thoughts or additional ideas? It will be as simple as possible, so to we can decently mantain even at an early stage.

I believe the server-side logic to send the data to a google spreadsheets wouldn't be so difficult, it would be a question of having a "Send" button that performs an append on a sheet.

Take a look at this package's function. I've done something similar before on a shiny app. Another option would be to setup a local database to append to but that would be less open to the public.
