content: DBpedia Serves Up Real Meat and Potatoes (but Bring Your Own Knife and Fork!) Download PDF DBpedia is the first and largest source of structured data on the Internet covering topics of general knowledge. You may have not yet heard of DBpedia, but you will. Its name derives from its springboard in Wikipedia. And it is free, growing rapidly and publicly available today. With DBpedia, you can manipulate and derive facts on more than 1.6 million "things" (people, places, objects, entities). For example, you can easily retrieve a listing of prominent scientists born in the 1870s; or, with virtually no additional effort, a further filtering to all German theoretical physicists born in 1879 who have won a Nobel prize [1]. DBpedia is the first project chosen for showcasing by the Linking Open Data community of the Semantic Web Education and Outreach (SWEO) interest group within the W3C. That community has committed to make portions of other massive data sets -- such as the US Census, Geonames, MusicBrainz, WordNet, the DBLP bibliography and many others -- interoperable as well. DBpedia has been unfortunately overlooked in the buzz of the past couple weeks surrounding Freebase. Luminaries such as Esther Dyson, Tim O'Reilly and others have been effusive about the prospects of the pending Freebase offering. And, while, according to O'Reilly Freebase may be "addictive" or from Dyson it may be that "Freebase is a milestone in the journey towards representing meaning in computers," those have been hard assertions to judge. Only a few have been invited (I'm not one) to test drive Freebase, now in alpha behind a sign-in screen, and reportedly also based heavily on Wikipedia. On the other hand, DBpedia, released in late January, is open for testing and demos and available today -- to all [2]. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to pit one service against the other. Both services herald a new era in the structured Web, the next leg on the road to the semantic Web. The data fro…
