Abstract

Recently, the DBpedia community has experienced an immense increase in activity and we believe, that the time has come to explore the connection between DBpedia & Natural Language Processing (NLP) in a yet unprecedented depth.

DBpedia has a long-standing tradition to provide useful data as well as a commitment to reliable Semantic Web technologies and living best practices. As the extraction of Wikipedia's infoboxes by DBpedia matures, we can shift our focus on new challenges such as extracting information from the unstructured article text as well as becoming a testing ground for multilingual NLP methods.
