"Christian Becker (Freie Universität Berlin) has implemented a wrapper around flickr which generates photo collections depicting DBpedia concepts. See flickr wrappr for details. We have interlinked all DBpedia concepts with the corresponding photo collections. You can now use any Semantic Web browser to navigate from a DBpedia concept to flickr  photos depicting it by following the dbpedia:hasPictureCollection property. This means an additional 30-50 million photos are accessible through DBpedia.\r\n\r\nFor example, click on the URIs below or paste them into your Semantic Web browser:\r\n\r\nPhotos depicting Brandenburg Gate: http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/flickrwrappr/photos/Brandenburg_Gate\r\nDBpedia URI for Brandenburg Gate : http://dbpedia.org/resource/Brandenburg_Gate" .

"After quite some work into improving the DBpedia information extraction framework, we have released a new version of the DBpedia dataset today.\r\n

The renewed DBpedia dataset describes 1,950,000 \"things\", including at least 80,000 persons, 70,000 places, 35,000 music albums, 12,000 films. It contains 657,000 links to images, 1,600,000 links to relevant external web pages and 440,000 external links into other RDF datasets. Altogether, the DBpedia dataset now consists of around 103 million RDF triples.

\r\n

We worked on improving the data quality in order to make the dataset more usable and useful to developers and fixed a lot of bugs submitted by our growing developer-community. We also reworked our framework to enable developers to extend the dataset with their own extractors.

\r\n

We are grateful for all contributions and are looking forward to support new projects based on DBpedia data.

"The commonsense knowledge base Cyc or OpenCyc (when compared to DBpedia) seems to follow a rather top-down approach – first more abstract concepts and entities are represented and later Cyc started to include also more domain knowledge. This seems to be reasonable, since domain knowledge changes faster and there is much more of it. On the other hand, domain knowledge is usually, what people need to solve real problems within their domains. DBpedia contains primarily domain knowledge, hence a combination of both – Cyc and DBpedia – could really be a winning team.\r\n\r\nTogether with the committed OpenCyc community we produced a first DBpedia-Cyc linkage, which is now available as a DBpedia dataset from the downloads section. The dataset will soon also be loaded into the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint and made available as linked data. More information about the linkage can be found at: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/OpenCyc" .

Based on the current GPS position of a mobile device, DBpedia Mobile renders a map indicating nearby locations from the DBpedia dataset. Starting from this map, the user can explore background information about his surroundings by navigating along data links into otherWeb data sources. DBpedia Mobile has been designed for the use case of a tourist exploring a city. As the application is not restricted to a xed set of data sources but can retrieve and display data from arbitrary Web data sources, DBpedia Mobile can also be employed within other use cases, including ones unforeseen by its developers. Besides accessing Web data, DBpedia Mobile also enables users to publish their current location, pictures and reviews to the Semantic Web so that they can be used by other Semantic Web applications. Instead of simply being tagged with geographical coordinates, published content is interlinked with a nearby DBpedia resource and thus contributes to the overall richness of the Geospatial Semantic Web.\r\n\r\nFor more information about DBpedia Mobile please refer to:\r\n" .

"we are happy to announce the release of DBpedia version 3.2.\r\n\r\nThe new knowledge base has been extracted from the October 2008 Wikipedia dumps. Compared to the last release, the new knowledge base provides three mayor improvements:\r\n\r\n1. DBpedia Ontology\r\n\r\nDBpedia now features a shallow, cross-domain ontology, which has been manually created based on the most commonly used infoboxes within Wikipedia. The ontology currently covers over 170 classes which form a subsumption hierarchy and have 940 properties. The ontology is instanciated by a new infobox data extraction method which is based on hand-generated mappings of Wikipedia infoboxes to the DBpedia ontology. The mappings define fine-granular rules on how to parse infobox values. The mappings also adjust weaknesses in the Wikipedia infobox system, like having different infoboxes for the same class (currently 350 Wikipedia templates are mapped to 170 ontology classes), using different property names for the same property (currently 2350 template properties are mapped to 940 ontology properties), and not having clearly defined datatypes for properties. Therefore, the instance data within the infobox ontology is much cleaner and better structured than the infobox data within the DBpedia infobox dataset which is generated using the old infobox extraction code. The DBpedia Ontology currently contains about 882.000 instances.\r\n\r\nMore information about the ontology is found at http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Ontology\r\n\r\n2. RDF Links to Freebase\r\n\r\nFreebase is an open-license database which provides data about million of things from various domains. Freebase has recently released an Linked Data interface to their content. As there is a big overlap between DBpedia and Freebase, we have added 2.4 million RDF links to DBpedia pointing at the corresponding things in Freebase. These links can be used to smush and fuse data about a thing from DBpedia and Freebase.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the Freebase links see\r\nhttp://blog.dbpedia.org/2008/11/15/dbpedia-is-now-interlinked-with-freebase-links-to-opencyc-updated/\r\n\r\n3. Cleaner Abstacts\r\n\r\nWithin the old DBpedia dataset it occurred that the abstracts for different languages contained Wikpedia markup and other strange characters. For the 3.2 release, we have improved DBpedia's abstract extraction code which results in much cleaner abstracts that can safely be displayed in user interfaces.\r\n\r\nAccess the new DBpedia knowledge base \r\n\r\nThe new DBpedia release can be downloaded from:\r\n\r\nhttp://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads32\r\n\r\nand is also available via the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint at\r\n\r\nhttp://dbpedia.org/sparql\r\n\r\nand via DBpedia's Linked Data interface.

"German government proclaims Faceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search one of the 365 most innovative ideas in Germany" . "The German federal government has proclaimed Faceted Wikipedia Search as one of the 365 most innovative ideas in Germany in the context of the Deutschland – Land der Ideen competition. The competition showcases innovative ideas in areas such as science and technology, business, education, art and ecology. The patron of the competition is the German President Horst Köhler.\r\n\r\nFaceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search allows users to ask complex queries, like “Which Rivers flow into the Rhine and are longer than 50 kilometers?” or “Which Skyscrapers in China have more than 50 floors and have been constructed before the year 2000?” against Wikipedia. The answers to these queries are not generated using key word matching as the answers of search engines like Google or Yahoo, but are generated based on structured information that has been extracted from many different Wikipedia articles. Faceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search allows users to query Wikipedia like a structured database and thus enables them to truly exploit Wikipedia’s collective intelligence.\r\n\r\nFaceted Wikipedia/Dbpedia Search can be tested online at http://dbpedia.neofonie.de/browse/\r\n\r\nPlease click on the example queries below to see Faceted Wikipedia Search in action:\r\n\r\n\r\n

Faceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search has been jointly developed by neofonie GmbH, Berlin and the Web-based Systems Group at Freie Universität Berlin. Technically, Faceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search is based on the DBpedia data extraction framework and neofonie search technology.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The DBpedia data extraction framework extracts structured data from Wikipedia, such as the content of infoboxes which summarize relevant facts as a table on the top right-hand side of Wikipedia articles. The extracted data is represented using the Resource Description Framework, a data model for web-based systems. Currently, the framework extracts around 190 million facts from the English editon of Wikipedia and 289 million facts from Wikipedia editions in 90 further languages. The DBpedia data extraction framework is developed by the Web-based Systems group at Freie Universität Berlin and the Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web group at Universität Leizpig.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The neofonie search engine, neofonie search, is employed to execute complex queries over the extracted data. neofonie search aggregates RDF data from DBpedia with full-text data from Wikipedia. The aggregated data is then divided into hierarchical facets, composed of 200 types with 2.9 million values. In addition to providing the search technology and processing power, neofonie is also responsible for the hosting of the Faceted Wikipedia/DBpedia Search on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

\r\nAs DBpedia covers a wide range of domains and has a high degree of conceptual overlap with various other open-license datasets, an increasing number of data publishers have started to set data-level links from their data sources to DBpedia, making DBpedia one of the cristalization points of the emerging Web of Linked Data. In the future, the links between databases will allow applications like Faceted Wikipedia Search to answer queries based not only on Wikipedia knowledge but based on knowledge from a world wide web of databases.\r\n\r\nFaceted Wikipedia Search will be presented as part of the Land der Ideen series on April 12th, 2010 at neofonie, Berlin.\r\n\r\nAdditional information about the Land der Ideen competition, DBpedia, neofonie and the Web of Data is found at:\r\n\r\n\r\n" .

"OKCon, now in its fifth year, is the interdisciplinary conference that brings together individuals from across the open knowledge spectrum (such as also DBpedia in particular and Linked Open Data in general) for a day of presentations and workshops.Open knowledge promises significant social and economic benefits in a wide range of areas from governance to science, culture to technology. Opening up access to content and data can radically increase access and reuse, improving transparency, fostering innovation and increasing societal welfare.\r\n\r\nIn addition to high profile initiatives such as Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and the Human Genome Project, there is enormous growth among open knowledge projects and communities at all levels. Moreover, in the last year, many governments across the world have begun opening up their data.\r\n\r\nAnd it doesn't stop there. In academia, open access to both publications and data has been gathering momentum, and similar calls to open up learning materials have been heard in education. Furthermore, this gathering flood of open data and content is the creator and driver of massive technological change. How can we make this data available, how can we connect it together, how can we use it collaborate and share our work?\r\n

"Hi all,\r\n\r\nin order to extract high quality data from Wikipedia, the DBpedia extraction framework relies on infobox to ontology mappings which define how Wikipedia infobox templates are mapped to classes of the DBpedia ontology.\r\n\r\nUp to now, these mappings were defined only by the DBpedia team and as Wikipedia is huge and contains lots of different infobox templates, we were only able to define mappings for a small subset of all Wikipedia infoboxes and also only managed to map a subset of the properties of these infoboxes.\r\n\r\nIn order to enable the DBpedia user community to contribute to improving the coverage and the quality of the mappings, we have set up a public wiki at http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Main_Page which contains: \r\n\r\n1.  all mappings that are currently used by the DBpedia extraction framework\r\n2. the definition of the DBpedia ontology and\r\n3. documentation for the DBpedia mapping language as well as step-by-step guides on how to extend and refine mappings and the ontology.\r\n\r\nSo if you are using DBpedia data and you you were always annoyed that DBpedia did not properly cover the infobox template that is most important to you, you are highly invited to extend the mappings and the ontology in the wiki. Your edits will be used for the next DBpedia release expected to be published in the first week of April.\r\n\r\nThe process of contributing to the ontology and the mappings is as follows:\r\n\r\n1.  You familiarize yourself with the DBpedia mapping language by reading the documentation in the wiki.\r\n2.  In order to prevent random SPAM, the wiki is read-only and new editors need to be confirmed by a member of the DBpedia team (currently Anja Jentzsch does the clearing). Therefore, please create an account in the wiki for yourself. After this, Anja will give you editing rights and you can edit the mappings as well as the ontology.\r\n3. For contributing to the next DBpedia relase, you can edit until Sunday, March 21. After this, we will check the mappings and the ontology definition in the Wiki for consistency and then use both for the next DBpedia release.\r\n\r\nSo, we are starting kind of a social experiment on if the DBpedia user community is willing to contribute to the improvement of DBpedia and on how the DBpedia ontology develops through community contributions J\r\n\r\nPlease excuse, that it is currently still rather cumbersome to edit the mappings and the ontology. We are currently working on a visual editor for the mappings as well as a validation service, which will check edits to the mappings and test the new mappings against example pages from Wikipedia. We hope that we will be able to deploy these tools in the next two months, but still wanted to release the wiki as early as possible in order to already allow community contributions to the DBpedia 3.5 release.\r\n\r\nIf you have questions about the wiki and the mapping language, please ask them on the DBpedia mailing list where Anja and Robert will answer them.\r\n\r\nWhat else is happening around DBpedia?\r\n\r\nIn order to speed up the data extraction process and to lay a solid foundation for the DBpedia Live extraction, we have ported the DBpedia extraction framework from PHP to Scala/Java. The new framework extracts exactly the same types of data from Wikipedia as the old framework, but processes a single page now in 13 milliseconds instead of the 200 milliseconds. In addition, the new framework can extract data from tables within articles and can handle multiple infobox templates per article. The new framework is available under GPL license in the DBpedia SVN and is documented at http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Documentation.\r\n\r\nThe whole DBpedia team is very thankful to two companies which enabled us to do all this by sponsoring the DBpedia project:\r\n\r\n1. Vulcan Inc. as part of its Project Halo (www.projecthalo.com). Vulcan Inc. creates and advances a variety of world-class endeavors and high impact initiatives that change and improve the way we live, learn, do business (http://www.vulcan.com/).\r\n2.  Neofonie GmbH, a Berlin-based company offering leading technologies in the area of Web search, social media and mobile applications (http://www.neofonie.de/index.jsp).\r\n\r\nThank you a lot for your support!\r\n\r\nI personally would also like to thank:\r\n\r\n1.  Anja Jentzsch, Robert Isele, and Christopher Sahnwaldt for all their great work on implementing the new extraction framework and for setting up the mapping wiki.\r\n2.  Andreas Lange and Sidney Bofah for correcting and extending the mappings in the Wiki.\r\n\r\nCheers, \r\n\r\nChris Bizer" .

The new release is based on Wikipedia dumps dating from March 2010. Compared to the 3.4 release, we were able to increase the quality of the DBpedia knowledge base by employing a new data extraction framework which applies various data cleansing heuristics as well as by extending the infobox-to-ontology mappings that guide the data extraction process.\r\n\r\nThe new DBpedia knowledge base describes more than 3.4 million things, out of which 1.47 million are classified in a consistent ontology, including 312,000 persons, 413,000 places, 94,000 music albums, 49,000 films, 15,000 video games, 140,000 organizations, 146,000 species and 4,600 diseases. The DBpedia data set features labels and abstracts for these 3.2 million things in up to 92 different languages; 1,460,000 links to images and 5,543,000 links to external web pages; 4,887,000 external links into other RDF datasets, 565,000 Wikipedia categories, and 75,000 YAGO categories. The DBpedia knowledge base altogether consists of over 1 billion pieces of information (RDF triples) out of which 257 million were extracted from the English edition of Wikipedia and 766 million were extracted from other language editions. \r\n\r\nThe new release provides the following improvements and changes compared to the DBpedia 3.4 release: \r\n
    \r\n
  1. The DBpedia extraction framework has been completely rewritten in Scala. The new framework dramatically reduces the extraction time of a single Wikipedia article from over 200 to about 13 milliseconds. All features of the previous PHP framework have been ported. In addition, the new framework can extract data from Wikipedia tables based on table-to-ontology mappings and is able to extract multiple infoboxes out of a single Wikipedia article. The data from each infobox is represented as a separate RDF resource. All resources that are extracted from a single page can be connected using custom RDF properties which are also defined in the mappings. A lot of work also went into the value parsers and the DBpedia 3.5 dataset should therefore be much cleaner than its predecessors. In addition, units of measurement are normalized to their respective SI unit, which makes querying DBpedia easier.
    2. \r\n
  2. The mapping language that is used to map Wikipedia infoboxes to the DBpedia Ontology has been redesigned. The documentation of the new mapping language is found at http://dbpedia.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dbpedia/trunk/extraction/core/doc/mapping%20language/
    3. \r\n
  3. In order to enable the DBpedia user community to extend and refine the infobox to ontology mappings, the mappings can be edited on the newly created wiki hosted on http://mappings.dbpedia.org.  At the moment, 303 template mappings are defined, which cover (including redirects) 1055 templates. On the wiki, the DBpedia Ontology can be edited by the community as well. At the moment, the ontology consists of 259 classes and about 1,200 properties. 
    4. \r\n
  4. The ontology properties extracted from infoboxes are now split into two data sets (For details see: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets):  1. The Ontology Infobox Properties dataset contains the properties as they are defined in the ontology (e.g. length). The range of a property is either an xsd schema type or a dimension of measurement, in which case the value is normalized to the respective SI unit. 2. The Ontology Infobox Properties (Specific) dataset contains properties which have been specialized for a specific class using a specific unit. e.g. the property height is specialized on the class Person using the unit centimeters instead of meters.
    5. \r\n
  5. The framework now resolves template redirects, making it possible to cover all redirects to an infobox on Wikipedia with a single mapping. 
    6. \r\n
  6. Three new extractors have been implemented:  1. PageIdExtractor extracting Wikipedia page IDs are extracted for each page. 2. RevisionExtractor extracting the latest revision of a page. 3. PNDExtractor extracting PND (Personnamendatei) identifiers.
    7. \r\n
  7. The data set now provides labels, abstracts, page links and infobox data in 92 different languages, which have been extracted from recent Wikipedia dumps as of March 2010.
    8. \r\n
  8. In addition the N-Triples datasets, N-Quads datasets are provided which include a provenance URI to each statement. The provenance URI denotes the origin of the extracted triple in Wikipedia (For details see: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets).You can download the new DBpedia dataset from http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads35. As usual, the data set is also available as Linked Data and via the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint.

"In line with prior releases of DBpedia, there is a new 3.6 edition of the DBpedia AMI available from Amazon EC2.

What is a DBpedia AMI?

A preconfigured Virtuoso Cluster Edition database that includes a preloaded DBpedia dataset. The entire deliverable is packaged as an Amazon Machine Instance (AMI); which is a cloud hosted virtual machine.

Why is it Important?

It enables you to productively exploit the power of the DBpedia within minutes. Basically, you can make DBpedia instances that serve you personal or service  specific needs. Thus, you do not have to constrain your use of DBpedia via the live instance which is configured for Web Scale use, based on server side constraints that affect concurrent connections, query timeouts, and result set sizes.

How do I use it?

Simply follow the instructions in the DBpedia AMI guide which boils down to:
  1. Instantiating a Virtuoso EC2 AMI
  2. Mounting the Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) snapshot that hosts the preloaded Virtuoso Database.

"We are happy to announce a first release of DBpedia Spotlight - Shedding Light on the Web of Documents. \r\n\r\nThe amount of data in the Linked Open Data cloud is steadily increasing. Interlinking text documents with this data enables the Web of Data to be used as background knowledge within document-oriented applications such as search and faceted browsing. \r\n

DBpedia Spotlight is a tool for annotating mentions of DBpedia resources in text, providing a solution for linking unstructured information sources to the Linked Open Data cloud through DBpedia. The DBpedia Spotlight Architecture is composed by the following modules:

\r\n\r\n
    \r\n
  • \r\n

    Web application, a demonstration client (HTML/Javascript UI) that allows users to enter/paste text into a Web browser and visualize the resulting annotated text.

    \r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n

    Web Service, a RESTful Web API that exposes the functionality of annotating and/or disambiguating entities in text. The service returns XML, JSON or RDF.

    \r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n

    Annotation Java / Scala API, exposing the underlying logic that performs the annotation/disambiguation.

    \r\n
    • \r\n
  • \r\n

    Indexing Java / Scala API, executing the data processing necessary to enable the annotation/disambiguation algorithms used.

The main objective of DBpedia is to extract structured information from Wikipedia, convert it into RDF, and make it freely available on the Web. In a nutshell, DBpedia is the Semantic Web mirror of Wikipedia.\r\n\r\nWikipedia users constantly revise Wikipedia articles with updates happening almost each second. Hence, data stored in the official DBpedia endpoint can quickly become outdated, and Wikipedia articles need to be re-extracted. DBpedia Live enables such a continuous synchronization between DBpedia and Wikipedia.\r\n\r\nThe DBpedia Live framework has the following new features:\r\n
      \r\n
    1. Migration from the previous PHP framework to the new Java/Scala DBpedia framework.
      2. \r\n
    2. Support of clean abstract extraction.
      3. \r\n
    3. Automatic reprocessing of all pages affected by a schema mapping change at http://mappings.dbpedia.org.
      4. \r\n
    4. Automatic reprocessing of pages that are not changed for more than one month. The main objective of that feature is to that any change in the DBpedia framework, e.g. addition/change of an extractor, will eventually affect all extracted resources. It also serves as fallback for technical problems in Wikipedia or the update stream.
      5. \r\n
    5. Publication of all changesets.
      6. \r\n
    6. Provision of a tool to enable other DBpedia mirrors to be in synchronization with our DBpedia Live endpoint. The tool continuously downloads changesets and performs changes in a specified triple store accordingly.
      7. \r\n
    \r\nImportant Links:\r\n\r\nThanks a lot to Mohamed Morsey, who implemented this version of DBpedia Live as well as to Sebastian Hellmann and Claus Stadler who worked on its predecessor.

The new release is based on Wikipedia dumps dating from late July 2011.\r\n\r\nThe new DBpedia data set describes more than 3.64 million things, of which 1.83 million are classified in a consistent ontology, including 416,000 persons, 526,000 places, 106,000 music albums, 60,000 films, 17,500 video games, 169,000 organizations, 183,000 species and 5,400 diseases.\r\n\r\nThe DBpedia data set features labels and abstracts for 3.64 million things in up to 97 different languages; 2,724,000 links to images and 6,300,000 links to external web pages; 6,200,000 external links into other RDF datasets, and 740,000 Wikipedia categories. The dataset consists of 1 billion pieces of information (RDF triples) out of which 385 million were extracted from the English edition of Wikipedia and roughly 665 million were extracted from other language editions and links to external datasets.\r\n

    Localized Editions

    \r\n

    Up till now, we extracted data from non-English Wikipedia pages only if there exists an equivalent English page, as we wanted to have a single URI to identify a resource across all 97 languages. However, since there are many pages in the non-English Wikipedia editions that do not have an equivalent English page (especially small towns in different countries, e.g. the Austrian village Endach, or legal and administrative terms that are just relevant for a single country) relying on English URIs only had the negative effect that DBpedia did not contain data for these entities and many DBpedia users have complained about this shortcoming.

    \r\n

    As part of the DBpedia 3.7 release, we now provide 15 localized DBpedia editions for download that contain data from all Wikipedia pages in a specific language. These localized editions cover the following languages: ca, de, el, es, fr, ga, hr, hu, it, nl, pl, pt, ru, sl, tr. The URIs identifying entities in these i18n data sets are constructed directly from the non-English title and a language-specific URI namespaces (e.g. http://ru.dbpedia.org/resource/Berlin), so there are now 16 different URIs in DBpedia that refer to Berlin. We also extract the inter-language links from the different Wikipedia editions. Thus, whenever a inter-language links between a non-English Wikipedia page and its English equivalent exists, the resulting owl:sameAs link can be used to relate the localized DBpedia URI to the equivalent in the main (English) DBpedia edition. The localized DBpedia editions are provided for download on the DBpedia download page (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads37). Note that we have not provide public SPARQL endpoints for the localized editions, nor do the localized URIs dereference. This might change in the future, as more local DBpedia chapters are set up in different countries as part of the DBpedia internationalization effort (http://dbpedia.org/Internationalization).

    \r\n

    Other Changes

    \r\nBeside the new localized editions, the DBpedia 3.7 release provides the following improvements and changes compared to the last release:\r\n\r\n1. Framework\r\n
      \r\n
    • Redirects are resolved in a post-processing step for increased inter-connectivity of 13% (applied for English data sets)
      • \r\n
    • Extractor configuration using the dependency injection principle
      • \r\n
    • Simple threaded loading of mappings in server
      • \r\n
    • Improved international language parsing support thanks to the members of the Internationalization Committee: http://dbpedia.org/Internationalization
      • \r\n
    \r\n2. Bugfixes\r\n
      \r\n
    • Encode homepage URLs to conform with N-Triples spec
      • \r\n
    • Correct reference parsing
      • \r\n
    • Recognize MediaWiki parser functions
      • \r\n
    • Raw infobox extraction produces more object properties again
      • \r\n
    • skos:related for category links starting with \":\" and having and anchor text
      • \r\n
    • Restrict objects to Main namespace in MappingExtractor
      • \r\n
    • Double rounding (e.g. a person's height should not be 1800.00000001 cm)
      • \r\n
    • Start position in abstract extractor
      • \r\n
    • Server can handle template names containing a slash
      • \r\n
    • Encoding issues in YAGO dumps
      • \r\n
    \r\n3. Ontology\r\n
      \r\n
    • 320 ontology classes
      • \r\n
    • 750 object properties
      • \r\n
    • 893 datatype properties
      • \r\n
    • owl:equivalentClass and owl:equivalentProperty mappings to http://schema.org
      • \r\n
    \r\nNote that the ontology now is a directed-acyclic graph. Classes can have multiple superclasses, which was important for the mappings to schema.org. A taxonomy can still be constructed by ignoring all superclass but the one that is specified first in the list and is considered the most important.\r\n\r\n4. Mappings\r\n
      \r\n
    • Dynamic statistics for infobox mappings showing the overall and individual coverage of the mappings in each language: http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_Statistics
      • \r\n
    • Improved DBpedia Ontology as well as improved Infobox mappings using http://mappings.dbpedia.org/. These improvements are largely due to collective work by the community before and during the DBpedia Mapping Creation Sprint. For English, there are 17.5 million RDF statements based on mappings (13.8 million in version 3.6) (see also http://dbpedia.org/Downloads37#ontologyinfoboxproperties).
      • \r\n
    • ConstantProperty mappings to capture information from the template title (e.g. Infobox_Australian_Road {{TemplateMapping | mapToClass = Road | mappings = {{ConstantMapping | ontologyProperty = country | value = Australia }}}})
      • \r\n
    • Language specification for string properties in PropertyMappings (e.g. Infobox_japan_station: {{PropertyMapping | templateProperty = name | ontologyProperty = foaf:name | language = ja}} )
      • \r\n
    • Multiplication factor in PropertyMappings (e.g. Infobox_GB_station: {{PropertyMapping | templateProperty = usage0910 | ontologyProperty = passengersPerYear | factor = 1000000}}, because it's always specified in millions)
      • \r\n
    \r\n5. RDF Links to External Data Sources\r\n
      \r\n
    • New RDF links pointing at resources in the following Linked Data sources: Umbel, EUnis, LinkedMDB, Geospecis
      • \r\n
    • Updated RDF links pointing at resources in the following Linked Data sources: Freebase, WordNet, Opencyc, New York Times, Drugbank, Diseasome, Flickrwrapper, Sider, Factbook, DBLP, Eurostat, Dailymed, Revyu
      • \r\n
    \r\nAccessing the new DBpedia Release \r\n\r\nYou can download the new DBpedia dataset from http://dbpedia.org/Downloads37.\r\n\r\nAs usual, the dataset is also available as Linked Data and via the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint (http://dbpedia.org/sparql).\r\n\r\nCredits \r\n\r\nLots of thanks to\r\n
