Access
Project representatives confirmed via email:
As for bulk downloads of data... We currently offer the following:
We realize that we could be doing more in this area, though. A few things we're planning to do:
- Provide a bulk download of our complete RDF (similar to how one can get complete dbpedia exports)
- Provide a better way to find various datasets (and download them in various formats, such as RDF and CSV)
- Provide a mechanism for submitting bulk datasets which is separate from, but complementary to, our Wiki)
