Wikipedia3 Released

Something new from the Labs: "Wikipedia³ is a conversion of the monthly wikipedia database dump into RDF. While it has always been our test dataset of choice, its wealth of information created by thousands of people all over the world also opens up new perspectives when put into a Semantic Web format: How to not (again) put structure or ontology, but people and their data first. How to meaningfully infer from the already known. How to scale real-world graph platforms. It's a foundation for a lot of interesting work."

Special thanks to Andreas Bolka (aka earl) & lowi for the hard polishing and automation work. We'll be releasing more labs stuff based on that dataset during the summer (especially visualizations). As always, feedback strongly welcome and hopefully this triggers loads of other good projects!
6 comments on this yet, add yours.
Wikipedia3 sounds like a great resource. Can I suggest you publish a web page with links to some sample RDF for a few articles? I'd like to look at some of it to get a better idea of what it's like without downloading 500MB. Tim
Dear Tim, example data is now available at:
- http://labs.systemone.at/wikipedia3/samples.ttl (Turtle)
- http://labs.systemone.at/wikipedia3/samples.rdf (RDF/XML)
Very interesting!
Very, very interesting. Have you in mind convert the other Wikipedias (spanish for instance) to RDF?
Thanks! Converting other Wikipedias is certainly possible but not planned for the immediate future. However, based on feedback this plan may certainly change.
Good day

I was wondering when you will release a new version of the wikipedia download?

Thanks
