DBpedia Search API enhancement (SANTé)

This project aims to enhance the SANTE search API of DBpedia, a popular knowledge graph that provides structured data extracted from Wikipedia. The SANTE search API is an important component of DBpedia that enables users to search and retrieve information from the knowledge graph using natural language queries. However, like any search engine, the performance of the API can be improved by optimising the underlying technology, data quality, and user experience. Therefore, this project will focus on enhancing the search API by incorporating various techniques such as data quality improvement, indexing optimisation, query parsing enhancement, incorporation of external knowledge sources, relevance feedback, and the use of machine learning techniques. These enhancements will improve the accuracy, efficiency, and usability of the SANTE search API, making it a more valuable tool for knowledge discovery and information retrieval. There are several knowledge bases currently published in RDF format and exploring this information is still challenging for non-RDF neither SPARQL users. DBpedia-Search aims at facilitating information navigation, exploration, and seeking through DBpedia Knowledge base with natural language queries. This GSoC project consists of enhancing DBpedia Search APIs by including tests, benchmarks, and additional functionalities.
