    What is the “DBpedia Snapshot” Release?

Historically, this release has been associated with many names: "DBpedia 
Core", "EN DBpedia", and — most confusingly — just "DBpedia". In fact, 
it is a combination of —

  *

    EN Wikipedia data— A small, but very useful, subset (~ 1 Billion
    triples or 14%) of the whole DBpedia extraction
    <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59833-4_1>using
    theDBpedia Information Extraction Framework
    <https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework>(DIEF), comprising
    structured information extracted from the English Wikipedia plus
    some enrichments from other Wikipedia language editions, notably
    multilingual abstracts in ar, ca, cs, de, el, eo, es, eu, fr, ga,
    id, it, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt, sv, uk, ru, zh.

  *

    Links— 62 million community-contributed cross-references and
    owl:sameAs links to other linked data sets on the Linked Open Data
    (LOD) Cloud that allow to effectively find and retrieve further
    information from the largest, decentral, change-sensitive knowledge
    graph on earth that has formed around DBpedia since 2007.

  *

    Community extensions— Community-contributed extensions such as
    additional ontologies and taxonomies.
