# GSoC-25: DBpedia Amharic Chapter
## Project Summary
Amharic Wikipedia lacks structured knowledge representation, which limits its integration into global knowledge graphs like DBpedia. This gap hinders the accessibility, discoverability, and interoperability of Amharic content in multilingual semantic web applications.
This project proposes to enhance the **Amharic chapter of DBpedia** by extracting structured data from Amharic Wikipedia. It involves extending the DBpedia Extraction Framework to support Amharic, creating new mappings for infobox templates, and extracting rich semantic data such as citations, disambiguations, and anchor texts.
The output will be published as **RDF triples** and made accessible via a user-friendly web interface, following **FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)** data principles.
## Key Achievements and Deliverables
### 1. Wikipedia Templates and Pages
During the project, several Wikipedia templates and pages were created or updated to support structured knowledge representation in Amharic Wikipedia. These efforts form the foundation for DBpedia mappings.
