[GOAL] [job] WikiFactMine: Open Access Wikimedian In Residence in Cambridge UK

[Peter Murray-Rust]

ContentMine[1] has an opportunity (details: http://contentmine.org/jobs)
for a Wikimedian In Residence funded by the Wikimedia Foundation and
working in the Moore Library at the University of Cambridge.

I am posting to this list because the position is possible because of the
growing amount of Open Access (CC BY) literature in the bio-medical
sciences. The Wikimedia Foundation has supported the development of
technology to mine the whole Open Access biomedical literature (project:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/ContentMine/WikiFactMine)
and index it against Wikidata. The Wikimedian in Residence will develop the
use of these tools and work with researchers and librarians and the
Wikimedia Foundation.

The goal is to download every CC BY (or CC0) article from Europe
PubMedCentral and index against the 25 million entries in Wikidata. Because
the project uses resources on several machines, copyright violation can
only be avoided through explicit licences allowing mass copying of
articles.  All extracted data will be made permanently available under a
CC0 licence, in repositories such as Zenodo.

[1] ContentMine is an Open-locked not-for-profit UK CLG.
