  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-10)
  
  I'm looking for a Linked Open Data approach to annotate a dataset with human genome and drugs information.
  
  According to the [Linked Open Data cloud](http://lod-cloud.net/), there are a lot of interconnected `RDF` vocabularies devoted to life sciences but, unfortunately, a lot of them seem out of date.
  
  I recently found [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/):
  
  > Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited
  > by both humans and machines.
  
  It seems exactly what Linked Data should be and it seems continuously updated. At a first sight, it covers very well genomic and drugs knowledge.
  
  Does Anyone know if Wikidata is a reliable source for genomic and drugs annotation?

  The question is what you mean with "reliable". For bacterial genome annotations there is one Wikidata based platform called [WikiGenomes](http://wikigenomes.org/) ([publications](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28365742)).
