We will need forms which people can use when writing a Wikibase CV or when sitting in an archive over a document that should become a FactGrid Item.

To use web forms is an interesting option as it forces people to answer specific question in a preformatted way. The idea is particularily interesting for historians in their daily work. Should they create a google document for the document they are exploring or should they create (and authorise) a web page for the document with meta data, transcripts, scans?

The Research Centre funded a first take on the problem. This is in the making.

Java Script Interfaces

We are not the first to consider accessing and editing Wikibase data through specific webforms:

Click "authorize to edit", then you can click "Add an authorization" to see the form.

Towards the "Wikibase Interpreter"

Work on editable web forms is eventually a step towards an organised interface for wikibase instances - with the potential to go beyond Magnus Manske's Reasonator. Think of the etable page on practically anything of interest...
