Features & Benefits

The open source KBpedia provides these features:

• A consistent, coherent combination of seven (7) large and leading public knowledge bases into the computable KBpedia knowledge structure ^[1]
• Mappings to a further 20 "extended" knowledge bases ^[2]
• A structured organization of the contributing knowledge sources that enables separate treatment of concepts, entities, events, attributes, and relations and their associated types ^[3]
• Powerful and flexible manipulation and filtering capabilities
• Use of open and accepted languages and standards ^[4]

• A modular and expandable architecture
• A completely Web-based knowledge structure, which may be deployed locally or in the cloud.

In turn, these features provide these benefits:

• Integration and incorporation of all data assets — unstructured text, semi-structured and markup data, and structured datasets and databases
• A reference structure for inter-relating and integrating your own domain content
• Inherent multi-linguality, supported by the 200+ languages of the source knowledge bases
• Precise semantic representation for all items, enabling better selections and matches
• The ability to make selections via inference and other logical operations
• The potential to recognize and train up to 52,000 fine-grained entity types
• A knowledge graph suitable to network analytics such as influence, centrality, shortest paths, assortative mixing, and betweenness
• Faster, cheaper creation of positive and negative machine learning training sets
• Faster, cheaper configuration and testing of machine learners.

1.These seven are Wikipedia, Wikidata, schema.org, DBpedia, GeoNames, OpenCyc, and the UNSPSC products and services. Learn more about these "core" knowledge bases.

2.Notable "extended" KBs include DBpedia Ontology, Dublin Core, FOAF, and BIBO. Learn more about these 20 "extended" knowledge bases.

3.You can inspect the upper structure of the KBpedia Knowledge Ontology, KKO.

4. KBpedia uses the W3C open standards of OWL, RDF, RDFS, SKOS, and linked data.
