Editing DBpedia

'''DBpedia''' [http://dbpedia.org (.org)] is a community effort to extract structured information from [[Wikipedia]] and to make this information available on the Web. The datasets made by DBpedia can be queried with [[w:SPARQL]] language if [[MediaWiki/Extensions#LinkedWiki]] extension is installed on a mediawiki. This way lot of company information ( Founded in year, type of business entity etc. etc. ) can be fetched from datasets of infobox data on the 'pedia.

http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets contains information on the available datasets such as Wikipedia [[templates|infobox templates]] and [[categories]]

DBpedia datasets can be used in [[Consumium implementation wiki]] through the [[MediaWiki/Extensions#LinkedWiki|LinkedWiki extension]]

http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Ontology contains for example information about 169,000 organizations
