Structure entities around Wikidata items
Hi! I'm surprised to not find a single mention of Wikidata in the repo as that seems to be the perfect match as a basis for your Entity
knowledge graph:
- It would prepare for internationalization as:
- you would get links to all Wikipedia editions, not just English
- Wikidata items come with multilingual labels, descriptions, and aliases that would help you find entities with inputs in many languages
- It would provide you with entities URLs on most major websites. Example: from Aristotle Wikidata item we can deduce all those URLs, including that StackExchange tag page https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/tags/aristotle
You can easily convert Wikipedia article titles to Wikidata item ids, the latter giving you arguably a stronger guaranty of stability.
You can find Wikidata CC0 dumps here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_download
Happy to help further if there is interest
