How to contribute links

Please do a GitHub pull request to allow us to check your contribution.

Choose an appropriate folder:
- links/dbpedia.org - for links from the main DBpedia namespace http://dbpedia.org/resource
- links/xxx.dbpedia.org - for links from a subdomain of DBpedia, e.g. http://nl.dbpedia.org
- links/other - for other links
We are linking by domain and subdomain, so please have a look whether your domain/subdomain already exists. Examples are:
- viaf.org - links/dbpedia.org/viaf.org
- lobid.org - links/dbpedia.org/lobid.org
- lobid.org - links/xxx.dbpedia.org/de/lobid.org
Submit the links. Note in this repo you can submit one or several of:
- a link file (N-Triples, one triple per line, DBpedia URL as subject, if larger than 200k triples ~20MB, bzip2 compressed)
- a script generating above-mentioned link file
- configuration files for SILK or LIMES
- patches, i.e. white and blacklists for links

within the folder mentioned in 2, please adhere to the following structure:

README.md - documentation for the links
name_links.nt or name_links.nt.bz2 - the link file
link-specs/ - SILK and LIMES config files
scripts/ - any script that produces a link file
patches/ - black or whitelist

Please see the next section for details.

Conventions

README.md

The README.md file is very important and should document, who created the links and how the links were created.

name_links.nt

If you just have the link file, you can submit it to the appropriate folder. The file must:

be in N-Triples format http://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/
have the DBpedia URI as subject
use either
- owl:sameAs
- skos:{exact|close|...}Match
- domain-specific properties such as http://rdvocab.info/RDARelationshipsWEMI/manifestationOfWork
- you can submit types (using rdf:type) separately in the "types" folder, see below

If the file is larger than 200k triples or 20MB please compress it using bzip2

Example link file

https://github.com/dbpedia/dbpedia-links/tree/master/links/dbpedia.org/eunis.eea.europa.eu

link-specs/

You can submit XML configurations for SILK or LIMES, see the example

Example link spec

https://github.com/dbpedia/dbpedia-links/tree/master/links/dbpedia.org/www.geonames.org

scripts/

A simple script that generates the link file. We are using command-line linux to run it.

patches/

The patches folders allows users to contribute black and whitelists. Please name the files like this:

patches/blacklist_$yourusername
patches/whitelist_$yourusername (This allows different users to maintain their own patches)

Submission of alternate classifications

Submit the N-Triples file compressed as bzip2 to the types folder.

create a folder with the domain the types are from
the file should be in N-Triples format and should only contain triples having rdf:type as property

Example classification:
