Knolcase Sling support

Is Sling still active development?

[ringgaard]

The SLING project is still very active. Since I left Google back in Sep 2020, I have made my own non-profit company that develops and maintains the SLING system. These days the project is more centered around knowledge management tools, but I hope to revisit semantic parsing later on.

Good to hear back from you. I was following SLING since 2019 with a great interest and high expectations. It seems ideal for high volume distributed knowledge acquision which is my main interest.

However, to complete the pipeline it would need a robust query interface similar to Semantic Web. Are you planning to add it in the future? Currently, the Python API is the only external interface?

Also, the KnolCase GUI seems to be insufficient for large scale knowledge base that adds on top of Wikidata newly discovered entities and relations. I tried to build a case for Salvador Dali (Spanish painter) but KnolCase did not try to link his works from Wikipedia, not to mention other sources. Can I use Python API to link all available sources? How can SLING schema be integrated with Semantic Web without duplicating all data?

I have many other questions. Is this the best place to discuss it?

[ringgaard]

KnolCase is just the knowledge management web tool. It does not do extraction in itself, but it allows you to import data from other sources using either the clipboard or one of the import formats, and you can then export the data to Wikidata.

I have just recently extracted 10000+ Miss America/USA/Teen (e.g. Case #1309) from Wikipedia using the new Wikipedia table extraction tools (witex), and I am now working on exporting these to Wikidata.

The SLING reconciliation pipeline also adds 5-10 million additional items from other sources on top of Wikidata.

You are welcome to send me an e-mail if you want to set up a video meeting to discuss this in more details.

I sent you a direct email to your @ringgaard.com address with some ideas for collaboration.
BTW: the link https://ringgaard.com/witex/ shows empty case for me.
