DBpedia is long time known as a central hub in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud as there are numerous datasets linked by DBpedia and even more linking to DBpedia resources. Nevertheless, outgoing links are highly appreciated. In the DBpedia Links repository people can upload there linksets or scripts to generate such. What is currently missing is a toolset to create links between DBpedia and external datasets automatically and to review them if needed. State-of-the-art tools for link creation between datasets are SILK and LIMES.
The student should create a workflow for automatic link generating and curation of automatically generated links, given there is a new dataset that should be linked to DBpedia. This workflow should be supported by a web-based GUI.
There are two levels of linking:
schema level: linking external vocabularies to the DBpedia ontology
instance level: linking resources from external datasets to DBpedia resources
Both levels can be considered in this project.
Goals
Impact
Get better links from DBpedia to external datasets.
