Access to the OAI-Repository

Hello, I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Leipzig, and I have a question regarding the access to the Special:OAIRepository. We are involved in the DBpedia project, which is about extracting structured data from Wikipedia articles and freely publishing that data as downloads and via publicly accessible databases (called triple stores/SPARQL endpoints). As the structured data enables one to ask complex queries on Wikipedia, DBpedia already received quite some attention (especially within the Semantic Web community). Some time ago, we have developed a live synchronization module, which keeps the data in such triple store up to date based on the OAIRepository. (Back then, access to it was granted to us by Brion Vibber.) So far we have done the extraction only for the English Wikipedia, as we do not have resources for maintaining multiple instances. However, other research groups have already announced their interest in setting up the DBpedia live extraction framework for further languages. So we would like to know how they could apply for access. (I have asked the question at the Village Pump and was directed here). Best regards, Aklakan (talk) 10:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Aklakan
