Use of ontologies for the extraction of structured data from wikis
Project short description
Wikipedia is the largest and most known example of wiki. There is a lot of information inside wikis that are built using its same technology, and a lot of users who create and edit their pages. But these free encyclopedias have a disadvantage: data is not structured and so it is not possible to do advanced researches. Moreover, computers cannot process these data. The aim of this project is to create a Java application that extracts semi-structured data from wiki templates and infoboxes and puts them inside an ontology, in order to have structured data. Using the ontology it is possible to do advanced researches, as computers can process these data. As an example, this application has been used to organize data about the characters of "The lord of the rings".
