Glad to contribute to that :-) We are using DBpedia in quite a lot of services at the BBC, as detailed in our ESWC paper [1]. I am also using it in almost all the services hosted at dbtune.org. Wrt. future plans, here are a couple of things that would be very great to have in future versions of dbpedia: 1) Query by example. You submit a bunch of DBpedia resources, and it returns a SPARQL query selecting them and resources with similar properties. 2) Live update from Wikipedia (but it seems quite close to being real, now) 3) An interface for submitting out-going links, instead of having to ping the dbpedia list each time Cheers, y [1] http://www.georgikobilarov.com/publications/2009/eswc2009-bbc-dbpedia.pdf > Thanks, > Georgi > > -- > Georgi Kobilarov > Freie Universität Berlin > www.georgikobilarov.com > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Dbpedia-discussion mailing list Dbpedia-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion
