French Chapter of DBpedia

Participants : Raphaël Boyer, Fabien Gandon.

DBpedia is an international crowd-sourced community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and make this information available on the semantic Web as linked open data. The DBpedia triple stores then allow anyone to solve sophisticated queries against Wikipedia extracted data, and to link the different data sets on these data. The French chapter of DBpedia was created and deployed by Wimmics and is now an online running platform providing data to several projects such as: QAKIS, Izipedia, zone47, Sépage, HdA Lab., JocondeLab, etc.

The platform can be found at: http://www.dbpedia.fr .

It is part of the Semanticpedia convention: http://www.semanticpedia.org/ .
