Hi all,
I'm currently doing some planning for the future roadmap of DBpedia, and
therefore gathering requirements and use cases.
So I'm wondering:
- Who is using DBpedia today or has evaluated it in the past,
- What are you doing with it or how would you like to use it,
- How would you like to see it evolve?
Especially interested in usage of DBpedia (and Linked Data) within
organizations or even commercial scenarios.
Please let me know, either on-list of off-list (and state in case you
don't want that information to be disclosed).
Glad to contribute to that :-) We are using DBpedia in quite a lot of
services at the BBC, as detailed in our ESWC paper [1]. I am also
using it in almost all the services hosted at dbtune.org.
Wrt. future plans, here are a couple of things that would be very
great to have in future versions of dbpedia:
1) Query by example. You submit a bunch of DBpedia resources, and it
returns a SPARQL query selecting them and resources with similar
properties.
2) Live update from Wikipedia (but it seems quite close to being real, now)
3) An interface for submitting out-going links, instead of having to
ping the dbpedia list each time
Cheers,
y

Re. pinger services for SPARUL type effects, the availability of a
FOAF+SSL based DBpedia SPARQL endpoint will make this feasible. And for
those that don't have WebIDs (URIs), OAuth based SPARQL endpoint will do.

Thanks,
