Linking Web Resources in Web of Data to Encyclopedic Knowledge Base

Abstract

This paper introduces Wikipedia as an extensive knowledge base which provides additional information about a great number of web resources in the semantic web, and shows how RDF web resources in the web of data can be linked to this encyclopedia. Given an input web resource, the designed system identifies the topic of the web resource and links it to the corresponding Wikipedia article. To perform this task, we use the core labeling properties in web of data to specify the candidate Wikipedia articles for a web resource. Finally, a knowledge based approach is used to identify the most appropriate article in Wikipedia database. Evaluation of the system shows the high performance of the designed system.
