Hello everyone!

I am Pratyaksh, final year computer science undergrad at IIT Bombay. I have
participated in GSoC previously in 2015, completing a project with pgmpy
(under Python Software Foundation). I have experience with using DBpedia
and various other structured knowledge bases (Google Knowledge Graph,
Freebase and Wikidata).

My undergraduate thesis work is on supporting entity relationship keyword
queries on knowledge bases/graphs - and it was how I first got introduced
to DBpedia. It is great to learn that this organization is participating in
GSoC and that I have a chance to contribute!

I've been eyeing the project on DBpedia Lookup improvements for sometime
now and have completed most of the warm-up tasks suggested. (Still getting
familiar with the code right now, the documentation PR will be under way in
a few days.)

Regarding the project:
The Google Knowledge Graph API request query parameters are a little
different from what DBpedia-lookup currently supports. In particular, the
'ids' and 'languages' parameters are supported by GKG API and not by
DBpedia-lookup. Also, the GKG API is unified for both keyword search and
prefix search (via the 'prefix' parameter). Do we want the DBpedia-lookup
API requests to mimic those of GKG? Or is the focus only on changing the
response to JSON-LD? In either case, adding the 'languages' parameter makes
sense since a part of the project is to improve i18n support..
