Following on from my previous investigations, here is some DBPedia SPARQL code to extract lists of what Wikipedia considers to be an "artist", and the resulting lists:
https://gitorious.org/robmyers/wikipedia-artist-list I recommend the infobox versions: https://gitorious.org/robmyers/wikipedia-artist-list/source/90d31b889dffc81d840fc8971e543e6765ad5bfd:csv/artist-infobox-names.csv ... "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Berthe_Morisot","Berthe Morisot" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Claude_Monet","Claude Monet" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Claude_Monet","Claude Oscar Monet" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Cecilia_Beaux","Cecilia Beaux" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Charles_Alston","Charles Alston" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Caravaggio","Caravaggio"; "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Camille_Pissarro","Camille Pissarro" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Jacques-Louis_David","Jacques-Louis David" "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dale_Chihuly","Dale Chihuly" but do see the notes for the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
