Hello! >> >> We are pleased to announce the release of the preview version of the >> "Linked Movie DataBase" (LinkedMDB): http://www.linkedmdb.org >> >> LinkedMDB aims at publishing the first open linked data dedicated to >> movies. It currently contains over three million RDF triples with hundreds >> of thousands of RDF links to other LOD project data sources and >> movie-related websites. Please check the LinkedMDB website for a description >> of the data source, a brief overview of the interlinking methodology used, >> and detailed statistics. That's really really exciting! Is the underlying data coming from Freebase, btw? Could your approach be generalised to other data in Freebase? This would also be really neat :-) I'd be also glad to try out ODDLinker! I really wonder how well approximate joins techniques perform. My personal experiments with really ambiguous resource (Jamendo/Musicbrainz) and string-based distances on the different literals attached to the resource were giving quite bad results (33% of false-positives on a 60 resources sample in the best case), so I tried to come up with a different approach exploring linked data as long as we can't take an interlinking decision [1]. It is much slower though, but has the advantage of giving almost no false positives (it dropped down to 0 on a 60 resources sample). Cheers! y [1] http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/papers/18-raimond-sutton-automatic-interlinking.pdf >> >> We welcome any kind of feedback and comment from the LOD community, either >> off-list or on the list (if of interest to everyone). >> >> And, if you liked this project, please don't forget to follow this link >> and vote for us!: >> http://triplify.org/Challenge/Nominations >> >> Cheers, >> Oktie Hassanzadeh and Mariano Consens >> admin@linkedmdb.org >> >> PS.
