What it does

It shows how many entries about mental disorders exist in which languages and then we tried to map the languages to the countries to show it in a world map.

How we built it

We used sparqle queries to get the right data from wikidata and used it as json files afterwards. Then we counted the number of articles per language and tried to map the languages to the corresponding country with python. Finally we used google geocharts to visualize our data on a world map.

Challenges we ran into

we had some trouble mapping the languages we found for the mental disorder entries to the countries, because not all of the properties we made our query for existed. We still have some ideas for improving our project, but the time ran out.

ideas we have that might be interesting

  • see how many views we have for the pages and where these views come from -> might give a better idea if certain disorders are not as prominent in certain regions
  • distribution of 'physical' disease in contrast to mental disorders, presented as a ratio
