Title
The WebDataCommons Microdata, RDFa and Microformat Dataset Series
Abstract
In order to support web applications to understand the content of HTML pages an increasing number of websites have started to annotate structured data within their pages using markup formats such as Microdata, RDFa, Microformats. The annotations are used by Google, Yahoo!, Yandex, Bing and Facebook to enrich search results and to display entity descriptions within their applications. In this paper, we present a series of publicly accessible Microdata, RDFa, Microformats datasets that we have extracted from three large web corpora dating from 2010, 2012 and 2013. Altogether, the datasets consist of almost 30 billion RDF quads. The most recent of the datasets contains amongst other data over 211 million product descriptions, 54 million reviews and 125 million postal addresses originating from thousands of websites. The availability of the datasets lays the foundation for further research on integrating and cleansing the data as well as for exploring its utility within different application contexts. As the dataset series covers four years, it can also be used to analyze the evolution of the adoption of the markup formats.
