[Dbpedia-discussion] Update

[<au...@in...>]

Hello everybody,

For all of you interested in DBpedia here some updates, what's going on 
behind the scenes:

* Piet and Georgi are currently in the process of restructuring and 
deploying the extraction code, we are facing a number of smaller and 
larger problems here (e.g. the Wikipedia dumps were growing above 2GB 
and some tools seem to have problems handling files of this size)

* depending on their success, we hope to release new data-sets within 
the next week or so, we hope most of the problems which were brought up 
by you are solved, however we will still rely on your feedback for QA

* at Universität Leipzig we got a brand new multi-core server for 
DBpedia, where we will migrate some demos to over the summer

* since DBpedia so far was rather a side project, we are at the moment 
in the process of acquiring dedicated funding to refine DBpedia and to 
intensify work on it - let us know, if you have some ideas with this 
regard or want to help out proposal writing ;-)

That's all for today, have a nice weekend everybody

Sören
