Hi there! I've updated the Extraction Framework to support pulling metadata from the Wikimedia Commons, including two Commons-only namespaces (Creator and Institution). The same code could also extract data from elwiki without any problem, so I _think_ I've managed this without breaking existing functionality. I've submitted all of this as a pull request at http://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/pull/227
Dimitris has already had a look at my code, but we agree that it'd be great to have as many of you giving me feedback on my first pull request as possible! I'm still learning Scala and only know as much about DBpedia and the Extraction Framework as I've picked up in the last month, so any comments about any aspect of my code -- from code style to writing in Scala idioms to making sure my code can work across DBpedia -- would be HUGELY useful to me, so please help if you can! cheers, Gaurav On 25 April 2014 17:00, Gaurav Vaidya <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everybody! > > I'm Gaurav Vaidya, a graduate student at the University of Colorado > Boulder, and I plan to spend this summer writing a Wikimedia Commons > extractor for DBpedia with my mentors Dimitris, Andrea and Jim.
