DBpedia

DBpedia (.org) is a community effort to enable moving Towards a Public Data Infrastructure for a Large, Multilingual, Semantic Knowledge Graph.

Today the DBpedia datasets contain a wealth of information that can be queried with SPARQL query language at their public DBpedia SPARQL endpoint. Latest DBpedia dataset version 2016-10 was published in 2017.
