The goals of WikiProject Medicine in Wikifunctions are to centralize functions related to medical topics, thereby facilitating the maintenance of medical content across Wikimedia projects and making this data accessible to anyone globally. Here is an expanded roadmap to achieve these goals:
Centralize Medical Functions: Develop a comprehensive library of functions related to medical topics, ensuring they are reusable across various Wikimedia projects.
Improve Data Accessibility and Maintenance: Facilitate the easy retrieval and maintenance of medical information on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms by using centralized functions.
Enhance Global Accessibility: Make medical data and functions available in multiple languages, ensuring global accessibility and utility.
Roadmap
Define Medical Formulas and Classifications
Research and Identify Formulas: Gather a comprehensive list of standard medical formulas and classifications used in the field (e.g., BMI, dosage calculations, diagnostic criteria).
Consult Experts: Collaborate with medical professionals to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the selected formulas and classifications.
Document Specifications: Create detailed documentation outlining the inputs, outputs, and methodology for each medical formula and classification.
Data Model Design: Design a data model in Wikidata to represent these medical formulas and classifications, ensuring it fits within existing structures.
Implement Medical Functions in Python or JavaScript
Code the Functions: Write and implement the medical functions according to the documented specifications using Python or JavaScript.
Peer Review: Conduct code reviews with other developers to ensure correctness and efficiency.
Add Test Cases for Medical Functions
Identify Test Scenarios: Define various test scenarios and edge cases for each function.
Develop Test Cases: Write test cases in both Python and JavaScript to cover the identified scenarios.
Automate Testing: Set up automated testing frameworks to regularly run the test cases and validate the functions.
Continuous Integration: Integrate testing into the development pipeline to ensure functions are tested with each change.
Link Wikifunctions Items to Corresponding Wikidata Items
Create Wikifunctions Entries: Enter the medical functions into Wikifunctions with detailed descriptions and metadata.
Cross-Reference Items: Link each Wikifunctions item to the corresponding Wikidata item to ensure interoperability.
Maintain Synchronicity: Develop a process to keep Wikifunctions and Wikidata items synchronized as updates occur.
Develop Multilingual Labels and Descriptions for Every Function
Gather Language Resources: Collect resources for multilingual translation, including medical terminologies in various languages.
Translate Labels and Descriptions: Work with translators to create accurate and culturally appropriate labels and descriptions.
Review and Validate: Ensure translations are reviewed by native speakers and medical professionals.
Implement Multilingual Support: Add the multilingual labels and descriptions to Wikifunctions and Wikidata entries.
Create Medical Applications Driven by Wikifunctions
Identify Use Cases: Determine key applications that would benefit from the integration of medical functions (e.g., health calculators, diagnostic tools).
Design Application Architecture: Plan the architecture of these applications, ensuring they utilize the functions from Wikifunctions.
Develop Applications: Build the applications with a focus on user experience, accuracy, and performance.
User Testing: Conduct user testing with healthcare professionals and patients to refine the applications.
Launch and Iterate: Deploy the applications and continuously improve them based on user feedback and medical advancements.
