Dictionary's Source : Wikidata & Wikipedia

  • Using a text file
  1. Create a text file (zoonoses.txt) in notepad in your system containing the list of all the viral zooonotic diseases. The source of the list was CDC (Center for disease Control and Prevention) and Wikipedia. It contained the animal disease that get transmitted to humans.
  2. Use the following command to create the dictionary

amidict -v --dictionary zoonoses --directory zoonoses --input zoonosis.txt create --informat list --outformats xml

The output showed much errors and warnings.

The output dictionary here

It consists of 135 entries in xml format.

  • Using Wikidata Query Service on SPARQL

Reference : https://github.com/petermr/openVirus/wiki/Dictionaries:-creation-from-Wikidata

  1. Go to Wikidata Page and click on Query Service at the left column. This will redirect you to Wikidata Query Service page where you can create your SPARQL query.

2.To make a query on your miniproject for dictionary, follow the step from here, or you can click on i Query Helper.

  1. use the possible filter and this will allow you to make sparql dictionary without actually knowing the sparql command lines.

4.Run the query for the results. The Rendered results will be shown in the columns created below the page. The default limit of the query is 100, increase it according to your choice by editing the LIMIT.

  1. When the desired results are out, Click on 'Link' and then "SPARQL endpoint'.This will download the file. Open it using Notepad and Upload it as your dictionary file.

The output dictionary is here.

Results

  1. The Dictionary created using amidict was done manually and lacked synonyms, host, variable name, description, wikidata links, wikipedia links and etc.

  2. The Dictionary created using SPARQL had descriptions, links, some synonyms, labels and ids. However, the rendered results were Scientific Articles and Journals .This need refining as we want the ids which is on Zoonotic diseases/viruses.

As PMR suggested this zoonotic disease dictionary has to be done manually.
