Egon's footnote

Have you heard about Wikidata already? "Use Scholia and Wikidata to find scientific literature" is a new tutorial from my colleague Lauren Dupuis. https://laurendupuis.github.io/Scholia_tutorial/

Regarding the use of Scholia for visualizing structure-taxon relationships, I think this is very possible - we already have aspects for chemicals and for taxa, e.g. as per https://scholia.toolforge.org/taxon/Q157892 or https://scholia.toolforge.org/chemical/Q121802 .

With regards to forks, the most prominent example is probably https://ordia.toolforge.org/ , which visualizes linguistic information based on the lexeme namespace in Wikidata.

Another thing to think about would be genome browsers like http://wikigenomes.org/ or https://chlambase.org/ .

adding additional SPARQL queries to existing Scholia pages is relatively straightforward (the main issue here is performance), so things like adding "found in taxon"-based queries to Scholia pages about compounds or taxa and perhaps also pathways could be solved quickly.

What might be even more interesting - but would require a bit more work - would be what we call subaspects, i.e. pages that combine two main classes, like https://scholia.toolforge.org/location/Q1748/topic/Q2539 .

With that in mind, we could think of things like https://scholia.toolforge.org/compound/QID1/taxon/QID2 or https://scholia.toolforge.org/taxon/QID3/compound/QID4 .

The work on such subaspects has been described in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50813856 for the example of geodata, which would probably be a good starting point when considering the effort involved.
