#Wikidata - #vaccines


For Wikidata, those items that are not known to be "something" are the worst. There are many of them; the last processable dump had some 3,758,186 items without any statement. Injecting them with a healthy dose of substance makes it easier to process them.

As people increasingly read about ebola, vaccines developed for ebola gain attention as well. In Wikidata they are now known as vaccines. I have no clue how to indicate that a vaccine is intended for a specific condition like whooping cough, measles or ebola.

PS I loved the cartoon produced by the "Anti Vaccine Society". Do note the golden cow in the picture. :)
Thanks,
