exploring wikipedia api #114

Closed geniashand closed 7 years ago

geniashand commented 7 years ago

This semester we are focusing on queries on Wikipedia. So there is a need to find a way to get the information. The first option as seen in #113 is to use DBpedia, I'm going to explore Wikipedia's api in order to see if there is any information we can get by using it and not the DB.

Work done until now-

There are a couple of Wikipedia APIs for java:

I've discovered that dkpro-jwpl is more suitable for creating and editing Wikipedia pages rather than getting the data from the pages. Going to continue later

After going through the open source code of the engines on the list I came up with 3 different options we should choose from and a backup one. I opened a wiki page but it needs more expansion. Will be done till tomorrow

@osherh please research about the option of using wiki-java in our project

geniashand commented 7 years ago

The wiki page was updated. The most suitable APIs are Mediawiki-Japi and wiki-java. There is a need to choose between those 2 options. A summary of Mediawiki-Japi's functions that are relevant to our project has been added
