We are in the process of developing a disambiguation framework for DBpedia that will be released still this year. For your case it can be used to find the company that is meant in a given string and a *context*. The context is important since there can be more than one meaning for "Apple" (for example http://dbpedia.org/resource/Apple_Inc., http://dbpedia.org/resource/Apple, http://dbpedia.org/resource/Apple_Corps). But in a given context, the use of the word "Apple" should be clear (for example "Apple produces the iPad."). So you could give our new tool a text that contains a company name that you would like to link to a DBpedia resource and it will return the corresponding URI. Of course, this can be done with other types of entities as well, not only with companies. > and what dataset actually contains the information > shown in that URL for company resources? The datasets are not sorted by type. To get the information of all companies you would have to load the Ontology Instance Types and the Ontology Infobox Properties. Or you could ask the SPARQL end point (http://dbpedia.org/sparql): http://dbpedia.org/sparql?default-graph-uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org&should-sponge=&query=select+distinct+*+where+{%0D%0A+%3Fcompany+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F1999%2F02%2F22-rdf-syntax-ns%23type%3E+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fontology%2FCompany%3E+.%0D%0A+%3Fcompany+%3Frel+%3Fobj%0D%0A}%0D%0Aoffset+200&debug=on&timeout=&format=text%2Fhtml Best, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
