The Potential of an Artificial Intelligence for Disability Advocacy: The WikiDisability Project

Human rights monitoring for people with disabilities is in urgent need for disability data that is shared and available for local and international disability stakeholders (e.g., advocacy groups). Our aim is to use a Wikibase for editing, integrating, storing structured disability related data and to develop a Natural Language Processing (NLP) enabled multilingual search engine to tap into the wikibase data. In this paper, we explain the project first phase.
