Claudio Martella walks through loading DBpedia into a graphDB.

DISCLAIMER: this is a bit of a hack, but it should get you started. I managed to get the core dataset of DBpedia into Neo4J, but this procedure should actually be working for any Blueprints-ready vendor, like OrientDB.

Ok, a little background first: we want to store DBpedia inside of a GraphDB, instead of the typical TripleStore, and run SPARQL queries over it. DBpedia is a project aiming to extract structured content from Wikipedia, information such as the one you can find in the infoboxes, the links, the categorization infos, geo-coordinates etc. This information is extracted and exported as triples to form a graph, a network of properties and relationships between Wikipedia resources.

Noting that graph queries are more efficient than when against a triple store.
