Hello,

I was wondering if somebody could provide some guidance on how I might
resolve simple company names like "Apple" or "International Business
Machines" to dbpedia resources a la "/resources/Apple". Once I perform
that translation, which dataset contains all information about Apple?
I was browing through the Downloads section of the website, but none
of the datasets appear to contain information about companies
(headquarters, # of employees, stock ticker, etc). I know this
information is available because I can pull up:

http://dbpedia.org/page/Google

which is quite thorough. I could, of course, pull it off the server
directly, but I'm looking to have all of that information local.

In summary: what's the best way to translate a company name to a
dbpedia resource and what dataset actually contains the information
shown in that URL for company resources?

Here are some options re. DBpedia [1] or LOD Cloud cache [2]. In all cases the solution leverages a native faceted browser engine:

1. http://dbpedia.org/fct/facet.vsp?cmd=load&fsq_id=4 -- start with the default page then enter a text pattern, known label, or URI
2. http://lod.openlinksw.com/fct/facet.vsp?cmd=load&fsq_id=193118 -- ditto

Links:

1. http://dbpedia.org/fct -- faceted browser engine service endpoint
2. http://lod.openlinksw.com -- ditto .
