Meeting Description:
The DBpedia community project extracts
structured, multilingual knowledge from
Wikipedia and makes it freely available using
Semantic Web and Linked Data standards. The
extracted knowledge, comprising more than 1.8
billion facts, is structured according to an
ontology maintained by the community. The
knowledge is obtained from different Wikipedia
language editions, thus covering more than 100
languages, and mapped to the community
ontology. The resulting data sets are linked to
more than 30 other data sets in the Linked Open
Data (LOD) cloud. The DBpedia project was
started in 2006 and has meanwhile attracted
large interest in research and practice. Being
a central part of the LOD cloud, it serves as a
connection hub for other data sets. For the
research community, DBpedia provides a testbed
serving real world data spanning many domains
and languages. Due to the continuous growth of
Wikipedia, DBpedia also provides an increasing
added value for data acquisition, re-use and
integration tasks within organisations. In this
system report, we give an overview over the
DBpedia community project, including its
architecture, technical implementation,
maintenance, internationalisation, usage
statistics and showcase some popular DBpedia
applications.
