About Wikidata medical queries for India edit
Anyone who generally curates global medical information in Wikidata will see clinical research, universities, researchers, and research papers from India appear in the datasets. Because India is so often a collaborator in medical projects with other countries, sorting the research in India is necessary to put global research into context. Other projects which sort medical research include
- Wikidata:WikiProject Medicine, to translate various medical terms into many languages of India
- Wikidata:WikiProject Source Metadata, to curate scientific papers by Indian researchers, at Indian universities, or about topics of interest to India
- Wikidata:WikiProject Clinical Trials, to associate research projects in India with their research institutes
- Wikidata:WikiProject Humanitarian Wikidata, to prepare information which explains and prepares for crisis response
Besides doing scientific research in medicine, India also is an excellent test case for useful development of Wikidata tools to benefit typical readers. India is a single country which has national public health policies, but also India is unusual for having very different language communities, many of whom share national health concerns. This means that there is some common health knowledge which is is specific to India, and which many people would want to know, but which Wikidata must translate into various Indian language communities to be effective.
By developing Wikidata health information in Indian languages, we reach a large audience, produce data which is worthwhile to translate into multiple languages, and which interconnects nicely with the interests of other countries in South Asia and globally.
