Wikipedia is not the only website that will shutdown and other websites that will blackout may have a visibility that is comparable to dbpedia (but I don't have the stats). It perfectly makes sense that dbpedia join the list of participants in the protest. Should you be interested in knowing who's participating, visit this website: http://sopastrike.com/ There are big names on the list. --AZ Le 17/01/2012 14:53, Mischa Tuffield a écrit : > > On 17 Jan 2012, at 13:40, Karl Dubost wrote: > >> >> Le 17 janv. 2012 à 07:37, thomas lörtsch a écrit : >>> But I would argue in favor of shutting down dbpedia alongside wikipedia.
