#Efficient Extraction and Query Benchmarking of Wikipedia Data

The thesis consists of two major parts:

  • Semantic Data Extraction: the objective of that part is to extract data from semi-structured source, i.e. Wikipedia, and transform it into a networked knowledge base, i.e. DBpedia. Furthermore, maintaining the up-to-dateness of that knowledge base to be always in synchronization with Wikipedia.
  • Triplestore Performance Evaluation: normally the semantic data is stored on a triplestore, e.g. Virtuoso, in order to enable the efficient querying of that data. In that part we have developed a new benchmark for evaluating and contrasting the performance of various triplestores.
