The purpose of this script is to assist in connecting all contributors to OBO Foundry ontologies to Wikidata pages via their GitHub usernames. Here's a screencast of me explaining this and showing some demo curations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERJyrh7UIbg
Progress can be observed via the Wikidata Query Service by running the attached SPARQL query.
Typical curation workflow:
- Look for GitHub users that are associated with a human name
- Search ORCID to find their ORCID identifier
- Use Scholia https://scholia.toolforge.org/orcid/ to see if their ORCID is linked to a Wikidata page
- If not, it's pretty likely that there is no Wikidata page. Search the name in wikidata to be sure. Create an appropriate wikidata page, all you need to add is instance of human and the ORCID identifier
- Add the GitHub username to the wikidata page
