[ANN] Wikipedia3 - Wikipedia in RDF

I'm happy to announce that we have released a first version of
Wikipedia3 - Wikipedia in RDF today. Wikipedia3 is a conversion of the
English Wikipedia into RDF.

Currently we extract basic per-page metadata and structural
information like link and category relationships. This is described
using a custom ontology (http://www.systemone.at/2006/03/wikipedia)
and enriched with elements from Dublin Core and SKOS.

An example is worth a thousand words, please have a look at
  - http://labs.systemone.at/wikipedia3/samples.rdf (RDF/XML)
  - http://labs.systemone.at/wikipedia3/samples.ttl (Turtle)

The available dataset is currently based on the Wikimedia dump of the
English Wikipedia from 2006-03-26. It consists of roughly 47 million
triples (47'054'407, to be precise) and comes in all major RDF
serialization formats: RDF/XML, Turtle and N-Triples.

Interested? For more details as well as links to the actual files have
a look at http://labs.systemone.at/wikipedia3 . If you have questions,
find a glitch in the dataset, have suggestions or ideas, or you want
to let us know about things done using Wikipedia3 please do not
hesistate to drop me an email.
