Language and other Chapters
How to start a DBpedia chapter?
We are looking for volunteers to support the creation of regional, language-specific and domain-specific chapters. At the moment DBpedia has around 15 language chapters, that are concerned with improving the extraction of data from language-specific Wikipedia versions. For example you can look at the Spanish DBpedia or the Dutch DBpedia.
In addition, we will support interested DBpedians to set up:
- more language chapters
- regional chapters, e.g. for cities or individual countries
- domain chapters, e.g. for law, medicine, media and science
The Dutch Chapter has provided a Sample DBpedia Chapter Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to use as a template for further chapters.
If you like what our project does but are still new to DBpedia there is a paper that can help you started:
