Background 

DBpedia and Wikidata currently focus primarily on representing factual 
knowledge as contained in Wikipedia infoboxes. A vast amount of 
information, however, is contained in the unstructured Wikipedia article 
texts. With the DBpedia Open Text Extraction Challenge, we aim to spur 
knowledge extraction from Wikipedia article texts in order to dramatically 
broaden and deepen the amount of structured DBpedia/Wikipedia data and 
provide a platform for benchmarking various extraction tools.
Mission 

Wikipedia has become the ubiquitous source of knowledge for the world 
enabling humans to lookup definitions, quickly become familiar with new 
topics, read up background infos for news event and many more - even 
settling coffee house arguments via a quick mobile research. The mission of 
DBpedia in general is to harvest Wikipedia’s knowledge, refine and 
structure it and then disseminate it on the web - in a free and open manner 
- for IT users and businesses.
