WikiCite/Roadmap 2023
< WikiCite
This page facilitates a 2023 reappraisal of the 2018 roadmap and the developments since.
There is consensus that this work includes at least three parts:
- a bibliographic commons, comprising a Wikibase of bibliographic metadata,
- a database of citation events, a structured database of references that appear on Wikipedia articles, with an understanding that not all of them cleanly map to specific sources
- a clarification of Wikidata scope, addressing what sorts of citation metadata about what references belong in Wikidata (under a range of WikiCite implementations)
Database of citation events[edit]
Internet Archive Reference Explorer, which uses a data service developed by the Internet Archive
- We could generate dumps of Wikipedia based on this code
Bibliographic commons[edit]
This could be federated (Proposals for federation), centralized, or polycentric. Approaches should address how to integrate existing specialized common sources, such as IA / OL / OpenAlex.
