Thread:Talk:SMWCon Fall 2013/Breaking News Detection with Wikidata and Wikipedia/SMWCon 2013 - Review status/reply (2)

> I would be interested in the challenges of integrating Wikidata with other data sources. How much does Wikidata simplify the reuse and integration of Wikipedia data?

I will focus on this topic. I basically treat Wikidata as a language (just like en:*, de:* there is wikidata:*). Some abstractions are required to make this happen, I will detail those in the talk.

> Any plans of further extending your system, e.g., with a map representation of changed articles?

My next step is adding social network multimedia data for breaking news candidates. See https://twitter.com/tomayac/statuses/365876386113662976 for a preview.

I am aware of the system, but do not know it in detail. As long as SMW changes are propagated somehow (ideally as a realtime IRC feed), SMW instances could be easily integrated.
