Assessing and Improving Domain Knowledge Representation in DBpedia

Abstract

With the development of knowledge graphs and the billions of triples generated on the Linked Data cloud, it is paramount to ensure the quality of data. In this work, we focus on one of the central hubs of the Linked Data cloud, DBpedia. In particular, we assess the quality of DBpedia for domain knowledge representation. Our results show that DBpedia has still much room for improvement in this regard, especially for the description of concepts and their linkage with the DBpedia ontology. Based on this analysis, we leverage open relation extraction and the information already available on DBpedia to partly correct the issue, by providing novel relations extracted from Wikipedia abstracts and discovering entity types using the dbo:type predicate. Our results show that open relation extraction can indeed help enrich domain knowledge representation in DBpedia
