DBpedia (from "DB" for "database") is a project aiming to extract structured content from the information created in the Wikipedia project. This structured information is made available on the World Wide Web using OpenLink Virtuoso.[1][2] DBpedia allows users to semantically query relationships and properties of Wikipedia resources, including links to other related datasets.[3]

The project was heralded as "one of the more famous pieces" of the decentralized Linked Data effort by Tim Berners-Lee, one of the Internet's pioneers.[4] As of June 2021, DBPedia contained over 850 million triples.
