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." <http://download.freebase.com/wex/> cheers, Brianna ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Georgi Kobilarov &lt;gkob(a)gmx.de&gt; Date: 20 Feb 2008 07:45 Subject: [Dbpedia-discussion] Freebase provides data dumps To: dbpedia-discussion(a)lists.sourceforge.net 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.
