Synopsis
Project is strongly based on belief to increase the user interactivity with Wikidata by creating a tool that on highlighting a

statement would provide a GUI to fix its structure then feed it to Wikidata. Wikidata is a free information base that is same

for humans and machines. It centralizes access to and structurally manage data so that every piece of data is easily available

and accessible.

Need
1. You are at home, reading a book. You often note important points all around the book by annotating it. Often you want

to share this info with world or save them for future use. So think of a solution such that you annotate and directly feed

and share important quotes to the knowledge base of Wikidata.

2. You are at presentation or some sort of seminar. Say you have a very important thing to share and make it available to

all, then this tool again comes to your rescue.

How it will work?
I am going to create a Mediawiki extension for this project that will offer a GUI on highlighting a sentence. This GUI will

analyze the statement using Pundit software, as a triple (subject, object, predicate), offer a change screen and then feed

the same to Wikidata by linking to its items and property. Optionally, providing the functionality to share the same to the

world.

Possible Mentors
1. Cristian Consonni 2. Andrea Zanni 3. The Pundit team
