Wikipedia List-Extractor

Wikipedia, being the world’s largest encyclopedia, has humongous amount of information present in form of text. While key facts and figures are encapsulated in the resource’s infobox, and some detailed statistics are present in the form of tables, but there’s also a lot of data present in form of lists which are quite unstructured and hence its difficult to form into a semantic relationship. The project focuses on the extraction of relevant but hidden data which lies inside lists in Wikipedia pages. The main objective of the project would be to create a tool that can extract information from wikipedia lists, form appropriate RDF triplets that can be inserted in the DBpedia dataset.
