[ANN] TripleCheckMate OS release

[Dimitris Kontokostas]

Dear all,

The AKSW DBpedia Data Quality group [1] is happy to announce the release of TripleCheckMate, the software used for assessing the quality of DBpedia, as open source [2].

TripleCheckMate was developed for DBpedia but we hope it will be used as a general purpose Linked Data evaluation software. Please send us your feedback either through the DBpedia mailing list or our google-group [3].

Best regards,
The AKSW DBpedia Data Quality Team

Hi Dimitris,

Congratulations!  I enjoyed using this tool when assisting with the DBpedia quality survey.  It is a pleasure to see it released.

Some questions:

- What is the license?  I don't see a license listed or referred to.

- Why use an embedded SQL database?  I'd like to consider integrating this tool with Callimachus [1] but would need to port its storage to RDF.

Regards,
Dave

Hi David,

We 're glad you enjoyed the tool and that you intend to use it.

I just added the Apache 2.0 Licence to the project, it should fit for Callimachus.

We use JDBC as a back-end and for the purposes of the DBpedia evaluation a MySQL DB.
The h2 embedded database is a future goal for an easier with just-a-war-file setup.

To use the tool with an RDF backend you should subclass the StorageService and adjust the StorageFactory
well... at least in theory;)

Also, please note that a few Wikipedia/DBpedia stuff are hardcoded in the code for now

Best Regards,
Dimitris Kontokostas
