Abstract

The lack of readily available disability data is a major barrier for disability advocacy globally. The collection and access to disability data is crucial to address social inequities, discrimination, and human rights violations within the disability community. The Disability Wiki project intends to use AI techniques such as Machine Learning and Semantic Web to extract and store existing disability-related data into one platform (Wikibase) and to provide a multilingual natural language enabled search engine and a screen-reader-accessible for its users.
