Fwd: Freebase provides data dumps - Wikitech-l

19 Feb 2008


      For your interest...
"The Freebase Wikipedia Extraction (WEX) is a processed dump of the
English language Wikipedia. The wiki markup for each article is
transformed into machine-readable XML, and common relational features
such as templates, infoboxes, categories, article sections, and
redirects are extracted in tabular form.
"Freebase WEX is provided as a set of database tables in TSV format
for PostgreSQL, along with tables providing mappings between Wikipedia
articles and Freebase topics, and corresponding Freebase Types."

Hi all,
Freebase now provides dumps of their data extracted from Wikipedia. See
[1] [2]. Interesting stuff. It is nice to see that Metaweb follows the
ideas of DBpedia ;)
@Metaweb: it's time to open source your extraction framework as well. (I
know you read this :)
Cheers,
Georgi
