Ah yes, I forgot.
There is also the options that:
- you fix it yourself
- donate money to DBpedia dedicated to speed things up
All the best,
Sebastian

Hi Peter,
first of all, I would like to thank you for your input at the
California meeting last year. We took your advice to make the mappings
extraction faster.
It is running currently and after that we hope that it will run each
week.
I can also answer you here, real quick. Actually there is a channel
for dbpedia-live called #dev-live
We are in quite a restructuring phase. The new DBpedia processes will
be (1) better documented, (2) more reliable for a price and (3) more
open for the community to contribute.
With regards to the live extraction, we are still looking for a small
business model. The main reason is that it is very hard to maintain
and we need to make this more reliable and have somebody monitoring
and improving it.
Wikimedia changed its API, to be fair this was done in a very
professional way. They offered the OAI-PMH for ten years. Then a
couple of years ago they had a Recent Changes (RC) API in parallel,
declaring OAI-PMH as legacy. We were the only ones using it in the
end. RC didn't have the right features for the Live Extraction to work
well. Now they switched to Kafka turning off the OAI-PMH. So we missed
out the one lifecycle phase in their API changes.
We have a student working on it, with the rest working on the releases
and spotlight, however this will not progress fast.
We are happy for any ideas how to stabilize the service. In the end,
we are considering these options:
- free to download and self install
- professional support for running it locally
- paid service (with a reduction for members) to make it more reliable.
Actually, it is almost a classical open source model.
All the best,
Sebastian
