Extraction of Lethal Events from Wikipedia and a Semantic Repository - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Magnus Norrby and Pierre Nugues.

Overview

This paper describes the extraction of information on lethal events from the Swedish version of Wikipedia. The information searched includes the persons’ cause of death, origin, and profession. Authors carried out the extraction using a processing pipeline of available tools for Swedish including a part-of-speech tagger, a dependency parser, and manually-written extraction rules. Authors also extracted structured semantic data from the Wikidata store that authors combined with the information retrieved from Wikipedia. Eventually, authors gathered a database of facts that covers both sources: Wikipedia and Wikidata.
