[On behalf of the YAGO team]
Dear Wikidata community,
YAGO is a large general-purpose knowledge base derived from Wikipedia and other sources. It contains more than 10 million entities (like persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and more than 120 million facts about these entities. It also contains time and space information, and unifies data from Wikipedias in 11 languages. YAGO is available for free at https://yago-knowledge.org
We are happy to announce that the source code of YAGO is now available as well as open source under the GPL v3 license. This allows everybody to use the extraction code, and also to contribute to YAGO. Please find the GitHub link here: https://github.com/yago-naga/yago3
We are very grateful for the work of the Wikimedia community (including Wikipedia and Wikidata), and we hope that our project can be of use.
Sincerely,
the YAGO team at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and Télécom ParisTech University http://yago-knowledge.org
