[ANN] DBkWik 1.1 released

Dear LOD community,

we are happy to announce the release of DBkWik version 1.1 [1]. DBkWik 
is a cross-domain knowledge graph complementary to DBpedia, Wikidata, 
and the like. It is extracted from currently more than 12,000 individual 
Wikis, with the extracted information integrated into a common knowledge 
graph. The input are Wikis provided by the Wikifarm Fandom powered by 
Wikia [2].

In the current version, DBkWik contains more than 11M entities and 
almost 100M relation and literal assertions. Around 550,000 entities are 
mapped to DBpedia (in general, the DBpedia and DBkWik are highly 
complementary). Since Fandom is strongly focused on media and 
entertainment, DBkWik, among others, contains more than 300,000 
fictional characters, 56,000 TV series episodes, 22,000 songs, and 
20,000 actors. This makes it an interesting resource, e.g., for 
recommender systems.

DBkWik is released as Linked Open Data under CC-BY-SA, and additionally 
provides dump downloads and a SPARQL endpoint.

Best regards,

Sven Hertling
