FAIR and open multilingual clinical trials data in Wikidata and Wikipedia (360G-Wellcome-219706_Z_19_Z)

£43,415

Primary deliverables (Linked Open Data for production) integrate clinical trials cataloging data from sites like ClinicalTrials.gov into Wikidata translate a limited vocabulary from ClinicalTrials.gov to underserved languages, namely Hindi, Bengali, and Swahili Secondary deliverables (cultural products to promote diversity and good ethics) document Wikidata as a research interface for clinical trials (English, Hindi, Bengali, and Swahili) publish a general-interest essay on ethical considerations of making medical research data newly accessible Wikidata is currently the central hub of the open Semantic Web and a portal to downstream reuse. While various sources such as libraries, repositories, and ClinicalTrials.gov provide open data, the easiest way to make information broadly accessible to the general public as well as professionals and researchers is integration into a Semantic Web portal like Wikidata which encourages further reuse. This project will integrate ClinicalTrials.gov into Wikidata, making it accessible to the Open Semantic Web and beginning the process of mapping its metadata with PubMed, disambiguated names of researchers, geolocation of study sites, portfolio of sponsors, and drug databases .Furthermore, we will translate the search interface to those named underserved languages as a precedent in global collaboration. If we are successful to the limits of our expectations, then clinical trials data published to date will be free and open and in the Semantic Web. Furthermore, we will set the precedent in this project that linguistic diversity must be central to open data projects of global interest.
