  DBpedia is a community project that extracts structured data from Wikipedia and publishes it
  as Linked Open Data on the Web. It provides a SPARQL endpoint, a Lookup Service for entity
  resolution, a Spotlight API for text annotation, a Live endpoint for real-time Wikipedia
  data, and Linked Data access via HTTP content negotiation — forming a queryable cross-linked
  knowledge graph of Wikipedia-derived facts.
