If there is an 'external links' section pointing eg. from a page about
a tv show, to BBC's page for that show, do the dbpedia extractors do
anything? Am assuming not, thinking that you're just doing infoboxes
currently.

This would be a nice extension since at least for the BBC case there
is structured data to be had in RDF from the other end of the link
(via either .rdf or conneg I think). IMDB and other URLs would be
useful too, since they can be connected to users via bookmarks, link
sharing mechanisms, user profiles etc. Not sure what to do about the
risk of false positives though.

Somewhat similar: ISBN extraction. Via
http://wiki.foaf-project.org/w/DanBri/WikipediaISBNs I found half a
million compared to the 15k in dbpedia; however these are "mentions of
ISBNs" not necessarily pages about the relevant books.

You might also consider Wikipedia as a way to add metadata.

I've just put a link from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princesas#External_links to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p50nt

There are RDF versions of both: http://dbpedia.org/page/Princesas and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p50nt.rdf ... but I don't think the
DBpedia guys yet pick up on these kind of external links. If the
parental guidance was expressed as a Wikipedia infobox it would
probably show up in dbpedia ... and could be tracked down from knowing
the BBC link.

cheers,

Dan
