EventKG – a multilingual event-centric temporal knowledge graph released

Dear all,

We are happy to announce the release of

EventKG [1] – a multilingual event-centric temporal knowledge graph. 
EventKG incorporates over 690 thousand contemporary and historical 
events and over 2.3 million temporal relations extracted from several 
large-scale knowledge graphs and semi-structured sources. These sources 
include Wikidata, DBpedia, YAGO, Wikipedia Event Lists and Wikipedia 
Current Events Portal. EventKG makes extracted information available 
through a canonical representation based on the Simple Event Model. We 
provide data in five languages including interlinking and provenance 
information.

The EventKG dataset is available at [2] as a SPARQL endpoint and 
downloadable dumps.

The EventKG dataset and a demonstration of EventKG+TL [3] - a 
cross-lingual timeline application based on EventKG will be presented at 
the ESWC’18.

Best regards,

Elena Demidova
