Hello All ,
I'm Hady ,i'm a Master Student in the field of Informatics and Research
Assistant at Nile University we are working now on Sentiment Analysis from
Microblogs
I've worked in more than one project regarding semantic web , the most
significant one is Weetit.com
<http://hadyelsahar.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/weet-it-alpha-version-demo-6/>[1][2]
it's
a semantic question answering engine based based on the Data from DBpedia
and freebase ,
the second project was a FourSquare to DBPedia
Mapper<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gytHKDerGJ0> [3]
which maps the extracted data from FourSquare into RDF that uses the same
DBpedia ontology
during those projects ive dealt a lot with DBpedia dumbs , extraction and
installation on virtuoso servers ( the whole process with the bugs we
faced) as well as i'm very aware with the DBpedia ontology and most common
Types like in the ontology. this is beside the Semantic web Standards like
RDF and Sparql
After finishing my bachelor study , i was very interested to contribute to
DBpedia as one of the very , so Sebastian and Dimirtirs Guided me to submit
a proposal to GSoC. By checking the Ideas page i've found that i'm very
familiar with some tasks objectives like "*Mapping service from Wikidata
properties to DBpedia ontology*" & "*Design a better / interactive display
page*"
i did a simillar thing to the interactive display page idea in out project
"weet-it" in which we specified the most common datatypes and customized
the answers according to those datatypes and this was inspired from the
display of FreeBase and Wolfram alpha so we decided then to have a similar
customized interface for places or people or sports books as well as
ranking the properties to display for each datatype
However , i consider myself interested more in the First idea which is
Mapping WikiData to DBpedia , i've consulted Dimitris about it alot before
, and he has guided me considering the objectives and the challenge of the
Change propagation from WikiData to Dbpedia , i've took a look on the kind
of Data offered by WikiData and how to parse it and convert it to DBpedia ,
i've started to write some experimental code in order to get familiar with
the extraction task from WikiData and i'm now in the phase of Parsing the
JSON
i consider myself to be in a good level in JAVA and Python and i started to
learn Scala in order to contribute in open source projects like DBpedia and
DBpediaSpotlight , i'll mention other things in details in the proposal
when it's finished.
if there's any recommendations considering the proposal or any other
potential thing to mention in the proposal , would be much appreciated to
mention.
thanks
regards
