DBpedia is a community-driven project that extracts structured information from Wikipedia and makes it available on the Web. The project aims to enable sophisticated queries against Wikipedia datasets and to link these datasets with other open data sources. The DBpedia dataset consists of 103 million RDF triples, covering over 1.95 million "things" such as persons, places, music albums, and films. The dataset is published in multiple languages and is accessible through various interfaces, including Linked Data, the SPARQL protocol, and downloadable RDF dumps. DBpedia also interlinks with other open datasets, creating a Web of Data with approximately 2 billion RDF triples. The project has developed tools for information extraction, query processing, and user interfaces to facilitate the use of DBpedia data. Future work includes improving dataset quality, automating extraction processes, and exploring new user interfaces and use cases. DBpedia is seen as a potential nucleus for an emerging Web of open data.DBpedia is a community-driven project that extracts structured information from Wikipedia and makes it available on the Web.
