[Please forward to all people who have been waiting for new DBpedia
releases.]

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:

* 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
