Over 1000 researchers are now on #Mastodon and have their handle on #Wikidata!

Now extracting some more usernames from the #ORCID #XML dump. I did it in #XSLT, because why not.

I imported these to #Wikidata, we're now over 1200 researchers with a #Mastodon handle.

I wonder whether it's ok to scrape e.g. https://fediscience.org/explore and feed the profiles it into #OpenRefine for reconciliation with ORCIDs and Q-ids. Disambiguation might be hard.

@nemobis intuitively the overlap is probably small (and yeah, reconciliation of people in #Wikidata sucks with my endpoint - maybe the Ontotext one does a better job?)
