Motivation edit
To link Wikidata with authors in Dimensions.ai. The graph contains structured data about almost 100 million works and I believe it will be useful for disambiguation of authors and identifying relationships between works. Dimensions is a Digital Science (Q30338362) product which is free to access for personal use.Simon Cobb (User:Sic19 ; talk page) 19:18, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Comment I would have supported and added it to my item, but @Sic19, Thierry Caro: how would we populate it? Is there any dataset dump and what are the license terms? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 12:15, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
