DBpedia Internationalization Committee

This pages provides information and issues regarding international versions of DBpedia.

DBpedia developers take a lot of effort developing on the live extraction framework and improving the extraction process and do not have the time to look into country specific issues. This page is created by international developers who want to contribute their knowledge and effort to improve the DBpedia extraction framework regarding internationalization issues.

A depiction of the latest I18n state can be found here
