Announcement: DBpedia 3.0 Release

Hello,

hereby we announce the availability of the DBpedia 3.0 final release.
DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from
Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web.

Downloads are available at [1]. For a list of changes since DBpedia 2.0,
see the Changelog [2]. Most notably, multi-language support was
improved, new linked data sets added, and extraction code improved.
Compared to the 3.0 release candidate, a number of extraction framework
and data set bugs reported at our sourceforge.net bug tracker were fixed.

Overall, the combined download size of all provided NT and CSV files is
5,0 GB (uncompressed: 48,1 GB). The available data sets contain 92M
triples (excluding 126M triples for internal Wikipedia links). DBpedia's
coverage grows to 2.4M entities for the English edition in this release,
thanks to the hard-working Wikipedia contributors.

The extraction was performed on a server of the AKSW [3] research group.
I would like to thank Jörg Schüppel, Sören Auer, Chris Bizer, Richard
Cyganiak, Georgi Kobilarov, the OpenLink team, and many other
contributors for their DBpedia support.

Best regards,

Jens Lehmann
