What is the “DBpedia Snapshot” Release?
Historically, this release has been associated with many names: "DBpedia
Core", "EN DBpedia", and — most confusingly — just "DBpedia". In
fact,
it is a combination of —
*
EN Wikipedia data— A small, but very useful, subset (~ 1 Billion
triples or 14%) of the whole DBpedia extraction
<https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59833-4_1>using
theDBpedia Information Extraction Framework
<https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework>(DIEF), comprising
structured information extracted from the English Wikipedia plus
some enrichments from other Wikipedia language editions, notably
multilingual abstracts in ar, ca, cs, de, el, eo, es, eu, fr, ga,
id, it, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt, sv, uk, ru, zh.
*
Links— 62 million community-contributed cross-references and
owl:sameAs links to other linked data sets on the Linked Open Data
(LOD) Cloud that allow to effectively find and retrieve further
information from the largest, decentral, change-sensitive knowledge
graph on earth that has formed around DBpedia since 2007.
*
Community extensions— Community-contributed extensions such as
additional ontologies and taxonomies.
