ISWC 2025 Challenge proposal for Wikidata

A few of us are submitting a proposal for an ISWC 2025 Challenge related to 
Wikidata. An ISWC challenge involves several groups of people producing 
systems to solve a challenge problem. For more information on ISWC Challenges 
see the call for challenges at 
https://iswc2025.semanticweb.org/#/calls/challenges.

As opposed to most recent challenges, which have a particular task and fully 
quantitative evaluation, this challenge will be open to any system that 
identifies errors or missing information in Wikidata and, preferably, proposes 
updates to Wikidata that fix the errors or fill in the missing information. 
The system can be either fully automatic or semi-automatic.  Submitted results 
be evaluated by an expect panel.  Scoring will be influenced by size, 
plausibility, correctness, effect, and closeness to existing information. 
Systems that just add new individuals to Wikidata are not the target of the 
competition.

The page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Peter_F._Patel-Schneider/challenge 
will be used for information related to the challenge.  If you are interested 
in potentially submitting to a challenge of this sort please respond by email 
to pfpschneider@gmail.com and also put an entry in the Discussion page for 
this page.

Expressions of interest received on or before 18 February 2025 will help 
improve the chances that the challenge will be part of ISWC 2025.  Expressions 
of interest received after that date may help improve the chances that the 
challenge will be part of ISWC 2025.
