RDF-Centric Map/Reduce Framework and Freebase data conversion tool

Primary LanguageJavaOtherNOASSERTION

Overview

Infovore is an RDF processing system that uses Hadoop to process RDF data sets in the billion triple range and beyond. Infovore was originally designed to process the (old) proprietary Freebase dump into RDF, but once Freebase came out with an official RDF dump, Infovore gained the ability to clean and purify the dump, making it not just possible but easy to process Freebase data with triple stores such as Virtuoso 7.

Every week we run Infovore in Amazon Elastic/Map reduce in order to produce a product known as :BaseKB.

Infovore depends on the Centipede framework for packaging and processing command-line arguments. The Telepath project extends the Infovore project in order to process Wikipedia usage information to produce a product called :SubjectiveEye3D.
