Is there an easy way to host a local DBPedia copy? Last time I checked it uses a little known database software. MySQL, Postgres or Lucene/ElasticSearch support would be prefered.
- smarx007 10y agoThat "little known database software" is called an RDF triplestore. You can think of it as a graph store on steroids, which allows you to formulate very complex queries on linked data (which wikipedia has plenty of). Take a look at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/linked-data https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/linked-data for learning more (not affiliated with the authors, just enjoyed the course).
- hmottestad 10y agoTake a look at Stardog. Should let you load in dbpedia on your laptop no problem. They have a free trial license. http://stardog.com/ http://stardog.com/ Modern and simple to get started.
- frik 10y agoI meant the Virtuoso OpenLink database software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server RDF triple stores were the latest hype during Semantic Web era. Wouldn't a more general NoSQL/Graph or SQL database be suitable as well, if soneone wrote an import script. I read someone achieved in with MySQL and a star table schema. What database software is WikiData using? WikiMedia properties usually use MySQL. From the dumps page they have SQL files as well, so probably MySQL. But they promote just the JSON, RDF and XML dumps.
