We have been using wikidata on pantheon.world to measure collective memory. In our case we start with all instances of human, trim the last to only the people with 15 or more language editions on Wikipedia and rank them based on an index. More info here: https://pantheon.world/data/faq

This is built on the Chromium engine FYI.
Hello, I am the lead developer on the OEC. I was brought here by an open issue someone made referencing this article. @articfox you are 100% correct in that the data is factual (or as reported by source) but the text is missing some context. The HS product 3002 does include vaccines and this was missing from the label.
Re:“Did You Eat the Whole Cake?” On Learning Estonian on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @10:15AM (#21060409)
Great article showing some of the complexities in Estonian, really appreciated this breakdown.

I recently worked on a data visualization platform for the trade statistics office in Estonia (https://data.stat.ee) and many of the nuances from this article came up while we were working on the bilingual version of the site.

For example adding prepositions in front of country names, required us to write a custom function taking into account the normal "rules" and exceptions.

Here is the case for Estonia + preposition

From Estonia: Eestist

To Estonia: Eestisse

With Estonia: Eestiga

Between … and Estonia: Eesti ja … vaheline

And now here is the case for the UK + preposition. (notice the extra g added in the from, with and between cases)

From United Kingdom: Ühendkuningriigist

To United Kingdom: Ühendkuningriiki

With United Kingdom: Ühendkuningriigiga

Between … and United Kingdom: Ühendkuningriigi ja … vaheline
