     3''...it's like TV Tropes, but LINKED DATA! ''

     5== About == 
     6'''[http://tvtropes.org TVTropes.org]''' is a wiki-based catalog of the tricks of the trade for writing fiction. It contains pages for numerous movies, books, and other items, and associates these with tropes (writing devices and conventions). 
     7 
     8'''[http://dbtropes.org DBTropes.org]''' is a [http://linkeddata.org/ Linked Data] wrapper for TVTropes.org. It parses TVTropes pages and outputs machine-interpretable RDF. For formalizing items and tropes, the ''Skipinions'' ontology created in [wiki:WikiStart Skipforward] is used. Links to [http://dbpedia.org/ DBpedia] can be generated, too. 
     9 
     10The original idea of DBTropes was to be able to import TV Tropes data into '''[wiki:WikiStart Skipforward]''', then being able to use Skipforward's recommendation and annotation features, and also being able to use the TV Tropes feature hierarchy for Skipforward items. However, DBTropes data can also be used outside of the scope of Skipforward.

     12== Example Pages == 
     13 * [http://dbtropes.org/resource/Main/TheMatrix The Matrix] 
     14 * [http://dbtropes.org/resource/Main/PlanescapeTorment Planescape Torment] 
     15 * [http://dbtropes.org/resource/Main/RuleOfCool Rule of Cool] 
     16 
     17== Documentation == 
     18Since DBTropes is an ''online'' wrapper, fixes in the way DBTropes parses TV Tropes pages are effective immediately. The following settings influence page parsing. 
     19 
     20=== Page Type Settings === 
     21Each page can be interpreted as... 
     22 * '''Item''': A movie, game, etc. - links to other pages in itemizations are parsed if pointing to {{{Feature}}} pages only and output as {{{hasFeature}}} statements. 
     23 * '''Feature''': A trope. Links to other pages in itemizations are parsed if pointing to {{{Item}}} pages only and output as {{{hasFeature}}} statements. 
     24 * '''Feature Cat''': A trope category. Links to other pages in itemizations are parsed if pointing to {{{Feature}}} pages only and output as {{{subclassOf}}} statements. 
     25 * '''Ignore''': Complete page will be ignored. 
     26 
     27=== DBpedia Links === 
     28After clicking on ''(Re)link with DBpedia'' (available for Items only), you will be presented a list of links found by [http://sindice.com/ Sindice] when searching for the item label. "Set" the link that represents the current page in DBpedia. An {{{owl:sameAs}}} statement will be generated. 
     29 
     30=== Hiding Statements === 
     31Using the buttons to the left of statements, individual statements can be selected as incorrect and hidden from the RDF output (currently not implemented). 
     32 
     33=== Processing Comments === 
     34Within the RDF output typically there are some processing comments created by the wrapper. Most notable are the {{{processingUnknown}}} triples indicating referenced pages whose type is not known yet. If you want to help, visit these pages and set the proper page type. 
     35 
     36== Frequently Asked Questions == 
     37=== Is there a SPARQL endpoint? === 
     38No, not currently. Just download the dump (see below) and use a triple store of your choice to do SPARQL queries. 
     39 
     40== Status == 
     41 * Item/feature hierarchy support very basic only 
     42 * Hiding statements in RDF output not supported currently 
     43 * "Backlinks" not included in Linked Data output (i.e., if a Feature points to an Item, this does not show up in the Item's RDF) 
     44 * Some of the used properties are not available as Linked Data yet 
     45 * Visualization of statements and labels could be better 
     46 * "Averted" etc. not handled currently 
     47 * On page type changes, pages referring to the current page should be reparsed, too 
     48 * Recent Changes (for page type changes, etc.) is missing 
     49 
     50== Download == 
     51A daily snapshot of all data can be found '''[http://dbtropes.org/static/dbtropes.zip here]''' (NTriples format). 
     52 
     53== Timeline == 
     54 * 2009-12-09: Intial release 
     55 
     56== Contact == 
     57DBTropes has been created by [http://www.dfki.de/~kiesel/ Malte Kiesel], a researcher at [http://www.dfki.de/ DFKI] [http://www.dfki.de/km Knowledge Management department]. Thanks to [http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~grimnes/ Gunnar Grimnes] for help with the design.
