- ZeroGravitas 5y agoI thought that as well before reading. Now I'm thinking the two things are more complementary. This project seems like a domain specific web scraper, targeted at common usages found on Wikipedia. There's so much data in Wikipedia that it's a good target for this. So one combined use would be scrape Wikipedia to find mentions of e.g. tour de France cyclists and then ensure that they are correctly tagged in wikidata. The author talks more about wikidata in earlier post in the series about this.
