Measures

Task	Measures in grant application	Comments
Use dictionaries derived from Wikidata to index the daily literature	4-8 dictionaries successfully deployed creating an index of facts from up to 10k papers on a daily basis. We anticipate reliably indexing around 200k terms, generating upwards of 10k facts per day by M10.	Documentation started as wiki page.
Create a feed of scientific facts in context with associated citations for Wikipedia and Wikidata editors	(a)Feeds actively used on a weekly basis by at least 10 Wikipedia and Wikidata editors by M12 (b)Contributions to 1000 Wikidata entries by M12 (c)Contribution to 100 Wikipedia entries by M12
Promote a combination of the scientific literature, Wikidata and Wikipedia as powerful resources for the scientific community and build a community of editors who facilitate interlinking between these three resources	1-2 members of each active WikiProject actively contributing to feedback on dictionaries and tools/250 people attending in-person or online events relating to linking the scientific literature, Wikidata and Wikipedia
