[Please forward to all people who have been waiting for new DBpedia releases.]
[Responses and questions can also go into https://forum.dbpedia.org]
Dear all,
we built a complex, automated, test-driven system around the DBpedia releases to allow the community to debug and extend the data and tools better. The system is partially implemented and documented, meaning:
* from now on there will be monthly DBpedia releases
* they are *neither as complete* as the last big release *nor perfect*, but decent and they will improve each month with your contribution
* the system feels more effective as in: we found it much easier to locate and fix issues due to automatic testing URI patterns, N-Triples syntax and soon SHACL on Minidumps (triggered on software git commit) and on the final large dumps.
* two former community extensions were submitted already: DBkWik https://databus.dbpedia.org/sven-h/dbkwik/dbkwik/2019.09.02 and LinkedHypernyms https://databus.dbpedia.org/propan/lhd/linked-hypernyms/2016.04.01
Only technical documentation is available at the moment. No summary statistics yet, i.e. we don't know yet how well we are doing overall.
* How to download: http://dev.dbpedia.org/Download_DBpedia
* How to improve: http://dev.dbpedia.org/Improve_DBpedia
* They can be browsed via http://databus.dbpedia.org/dbpedia but there docu is incomplete and the query and collection builder is untested
Also next week, 12th of September, DBpedia will meet at SEMANTiCS 2019 https://wiki.dbpedia.org/events/14th-dbpedia-community-meeting-karlsruhe
