Here's something I think should be easy: I want to count the events (by month) on all of Wikipedia's 'year' pages.[1]
First problem: multiple levels of indent, so there needs to be logic for that. Second problem: some pages have weird stuff in the events section, like "world population".[2] Third problem: some pages have "date unknown" events.[2] Fourth problem: all the other problems I'd encounter if I looked at more than two of these pages.
So it's a day's worth of work to get something rough and 2-3 days to get something solid. To answer one question of this kind.
Does DBpedia help me?
