1. InteractOA – High-resolution references of ncRNA-mRNA interactions in Wikidata Konrad U. Förstner ZB MED – Information Center for Life Sciences, Cologne, Germany & TH Köln, Cologne Germany WikiCite 2018 – November 27th, 2018, Berkeley
2. Problems with scientific databases • missing sources of stored statements – if available only on the level of journal articles • maintainer (e.g. PhD student) leaves ⇒ db not maintained anymore
3. Solution: Wikidata
4. Use case – bacterial ncRNA-mRNA interactions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RyeE_RNA – CC0
5. Use case – bacterial ncRNA-mRNA interactions ncRNA regulates − − − − − → mRNA
6. Use case – bacterial ncRNA-mRNA interactions Can we refer to the exact sources (sentence, paragraph) of statements about ncRNA-mRNA interactions in Open Access articles from PubMedCentral?
7. Use case – bacterial ncRNA-mRNA interactions Yes, we can. https://tools.wmflabs.org/interactoa/
8. Hard work done by ... Muhammad Elhossary @muhammadhossary Q30045548
14. Future steps • Some polishing required • Text mining to find further interaction partners
