Discovering Unknown Connections - the DBpedia Relationship Finder

: The Relationship Finder is a tool for exploring connections between objects in a Semantic Web knowledge base. It offers a new way to get insights about elements in an ontology, in particular for large amounts of instance data. For this reason, we applied the idea to the DBpedia data set, which contains an enormous amount of knowledge extracted from Wikipedia. We describe the workings of the Relationship Finder algorithm and present some interesting statistical discoveries about DBpedia and Wikipedia.
