WikipediaW3C Semantic Web

A Periodic Update of Semantic Web-related Research using Wikipedia

One of the more popular posts of this AI3 blog was a listing of 99 research articles that used Wikipedia in one way or another to do semantic-Web related research. It was first posted in February 2008. Many of you suggested additions to that listing.

Wikipedia continues to be an effective and unique source for many information extraction and semantic Web purposes. We thus decided to make this listing a permanent resource of this blog and to update it on a periodic basis. If you have additions to this listing, please suggest them here and they will be added to the next periodic update.

UPDATE: This alphabetical listing now contains 246 articles, and was posted on Jan. 25, 2010. This update adds 19 articles since the last listing of 227 entries posted on Sept. 10, 2009. All new entries since the last update are noted with [NEW].
