Re: Wikidata vs DBpedia
Hello Lorenz, if it can not be extracted like DBpedia then how can we use it in our application. Several month ago, I asked a question, I think here, that if some data is not available on DBpedia, what we should do and some body respond that do use Wikidata. How can we make use of Wikidata in our applications?

Re: Wikidata vs DBpedia
That question could be applied to any other thing in the world where two possible options exists... "why should I use A if I can do what I want already with B?" I'd suggest read more about Wikidata in your case, then it should be clear that Wikidata provides a totally different concept how the data is added. It does not extract data from Wikipedia, as DBpedia does, is a user curated source for for structured information which is included in Wikipedia. > I am sorry if it is slightly off topic. > > How Wikidata differs from DBpedia, in terms of building semantic web > applications.

Re: Wikidata vs DBpedia
This would be a much better question for either the Wikidata mailing list [1] or the DBpedia support system [2]. --- A.
