Abstract

DBpedia is considered as one of the recently emerging hot topics in the field of Semantic Web due to its importance in adding structure to Wikipedia, the largest online encyclopedia worldwide covering 285 Wikipedia languages. Thought to be a step towards the internationalization of DBpedia, this paper describes the best practices and the efforts performed as part of the work in the deployment of the Arabic DBpedia as a new chapter will be added to the available multilingual DBpedia chapters which can support the maintenance, extraction and enriching of DBpedia especially for those users who their native language is Arabic.
