Use AI but complement it with structured data

Hoi,
I read the most wonderful blogpost by the OCLC [1]. For those that do not
know, OCLC is a longtime partner of the WMF, it is the worldwide
organisation of library organisations, it publishes the VIAF identifiers
and they are heavily used in our projects.

When you consider the OCLC blogpost, we are in a wonderful position that we
have both structured data in list, categories and info boxes in our
Wikipedias but also in Wikidata. In addition there is the texts that will
typically confirm what it says in the structured data. Having this data
enables us to find issues in our data.

What I find particularly interesting is that we support more than 300
languages, our AI can be trained AND functional by inferring information
from our structured data. This means that we may enrich all our projects
particularly where statements have weight because of the references in one
language. This will materially improve our inclusivity and our relevance.
Thanks,
      GerardM
