#Project Progress:

week 1 :

• public clone of Extraction framework
• preparing development environment
• compiling the Extraction framework
• Getting to know DBpedia main classes structures of the extraction framework

readings

• papers No. #1 #2 #4 in DBpedia publications
• http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Documentation

important discussions :

• Warmup task - URI Schema to use for wikiData - using or not the WikiData RDF format

---

week 2 [17-6-2013] :

• exploring the PubSubHubbub Protocol
• installing a local Hub and subscribing to some RSS Feed

Overview about the PubSubHubbub protocol

readings

• PubSubHubbub home page : https://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/

important discussions :

• Reliability and Hadware Requirements of PubSubHubbub
• Rate of new changes in WikiData

---

week 3 [24-6-2013] :

• Create a RDF dump out of 1-2K WikiData entities
• work on the language links from API:
  1. process Wikidata info, generate master IL links file.
  2. produce language-specific same_as files from master IL links file,
• Create a few mappings in the mappings wiki (as owl:equivalentProperty). The most common ones in the dumps

important discussions :

• Different Language links Files

---

Weeks 4,5,6,7 Language Links Extraction [1-7-2013] -> [1-8-2013] :

• step 1: Creating Master LLinks file (replacing the old bash commands with scala code)
• Step 2: Creating specific LLinks extraction in folders (after some number of code iterations we agreed upon that we can depend on that links comes in blocks ) , Implemented Algorithm
• updating code to utilize some Extraction framework utilities instead of rewriting them
• Code Reviews 1 , 2 ,3
• More code reviews , some code conflicts

important links/Discussions :

• implicit conversions in Scala
• Master branch uses Scala 2.9 , Dump branch uses Scala 2.10
• Updating RichReader.foreach to support end of lines detection
• recent commits : https://github.com/hadyelsahar/extraction-framework/commits/lang-link-extract

---

--- off to Leipzig 2-8 > 6-8

---

week 8 [5-8-2013] - [11-8-2013] :

• updating Pom.xml (adding scala launcher for LL scala scripts)
• setting lgd.aksw server (cloning repos , managing conflicted files , run maven install)
• Running wda-export-data.py script on lgd server

important discussions/Links :

• WikiData RDF export available

---

week 9 [12-8-2013] - [18-8-2013] :

Language links extraction process:

• Running the wda script and using the option 'turtle-links'
• unzipping the extracts and convert it to Nturtle format using rapper rapper -i turtle turtle-20130808-links.ttl
• Generating Master LLfiles using command sudo mvn scala:run -Dlauncher=GenerateLLMasterFile
• Generate specific Language links files : sudo mvn scala:run -Dlauncher=GenerateLLSpecificFiles

ps: in steps 3 and 4 update the arguments of each script (the location of input / output dumps ) in the pom.xml file inside the scripts folder

what's done so far :

• 7M triples that passed from rapper phase without encountering a bug
• Running Master LL files extraction ( the output dump in /root/hady_wikidata_extraction/Datasets/languagelinks/MasterLLfile.nt )
• Running Specific LL files extraction ( the output now is in /root/hady_wikidata_extraction/Datasets/languagelinks/LLfiles/ )

Benchmark (for the 7 Million triples on the lgd server):

• Generating Master LLfile : 28 secs
• Generating Sepcific Files : 3 Minutes ,10 seconds

Updates #2:

• Running the new version of wda python script
• Running rapper on the resulted dump (/Datasets/turtle-20130811-links.ttl)
• [Bugs Found] only 7.5M triples extracted (500K more) in (/Datasets/turtle-20130811-links.nt)
