We will be spending the next three days in Berlin at WikidataCon 2019, the conference for open data enthusiasts. From October 24th till 26th we will be presenting the latest developments and first results of our work in the GlobalFactSyncRE-Project. 

Short Project Intro

Funded by the Wikimedia Foundation, the project started in June 2019 and has two goals:

  • Answer the following questions:
    • How is data edited in Wikipedia and Wikidata?
    • Where does it come from?
    • How can we synchronize it globally?
  • Build an information system to synchronize facts between all Wikipedia language-editions, Wikidata, DBpedia and eventually multiple external sources, while also providing respective references. 

In order to help Wikipedians to maintain their infoboxes, check for factual correctness, and also improve data in Wikidata, we use data from Wikipedia infoboxes of different languages, Wikidata, and DBpedia and fuse them into our PreFusion dataset (in JSON-LD). More information on the fusion process, which is the engine behind GFS, can be found in the FlexiFusion paper.

Can’t join the conference or want to find out more about GlobalFactSync?

No problem, the poster we are presenting at the conference is currently available here and will soon be available here. Additionally, why not go through our project timeline, follow up on our progress so far and find out what’s coming up next.

In case you have specific questions regarding GlobalfactSync or even some helpful feedback just ping us via dbpedia@infai.org. We also have our new DBpedia Forum, home to the DBpedia Comunity, which just waits for you to initialize a discussion around GlobalFactSync. Why not start it now?

For general DBpedia news and updates follow us on Twitter.

…And if you are in Berlin at WikiDataCon2019 stop by our poster and talk to our developers. They are looking forward to vital exchanges with you.

All the best

yours,
