description: DBpedia is a community project that extracts structured data from Wikipedia and publishes it as Linked Open Data
  on the Web. It provides a SPARQL endpoint, a Lookup Service for entity resolution, a Spotlight API for text annotation,
  a Live endpoint for real-time Wikipedia data, and Linked Data access via HTTP content negotiation — forming a queryable
  cross-linked knowledge graph of Wikipedia-derived facts.
