Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/zelph:Wikidata Contradiction Detection and Constraint Integration (ID: 23553409)

Endorsement from Peter F. Patel-Schneider (talk)

Adding a rule system to Wikidata to make inferences based on the intended meaning of constructs in Wikidata would help those using Wikidata see these consequences and, in particular, any problems that arise from them such as necessarily empty classes and contradictions. This, of course, depends on Zelph being able to effectively compute the consequences, such as the over 100 million implied subclass of relationships and over 1 billion implied instance of relationships. I would have preferred to see direct evidence that Zelph can work at this scale or an example of Zelph computing the constraint violations of at least one major Wikidata constraint.
