Project Name: annotation

Wikitech Usernames of requestors: DVrandecic (will add more later)

Purpose: to run a MediaWiki instance that will be used as a prototype to demonstrate the annotation of text and text fragments with identifiers of Lexemes, Senses, and Forms from Wikidata

Brief description: Each page on the wiki is supposed to contain a sentence, with each lexeme being annotated accordingly. This aims to be useful in several ways: 1) make the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata visible and highlight gaps, 2) as training data for automatic annotation systems (this might be too ambitious with the prototype planned here), 3) at least as a prototype that might inspire another system with the goal to provide 2) All that needs to run here would be a MediaWiki instance. A medium sized VPS project should be sufficient for now. I would be thrilled if we outgrow that. My expectation that this is a wiki to demonstrate the idea, and that hopefully an external team will recognize the value in that and reimplement it properly. I do not expect this to become a proper content wiki.

How soon you are hoping this can be fulfilled: This month (January 2021).
