DBpedia Mobile: A Location-Enabled Linked Data Browser
Christian Becker, Christian Bizer · MADOC (University of Mannheim) · 2008
In this demonstration, we present DBpedia Mobile, a location-centric DBpedia client application for mobile devices consisting of a map view and a Fresnel-based Linked Data browser.The DBpedia project extracts structured information from Wikipedia and publishes this information as Linked Data on the Web.The DBpedia dataset contains information about 2.18 million things, including almost 300,000 geographic locations.DBpedia is interlinked with various other location-related datasets.Based on the current GPS position of a mobile device, DBpedia Mobile renders a map indicating nearby locations from the DBpedia dataset.Starting from this map, users can explore background information about locations and can navigate into interlinked datasets.DBpedia Mobile demonstrates that the DBpedia dataset can serve as a useful starting point to explore the Geospatial Semantic Web using a mobile device.
