using dbpedia spotlight in java or scala

Question

Does anyone know where to find a little how to on using dbpedia spotlight in java or scala? Or could anyone explain how it's done? I can't find any information on this...

Answer 1

The DBpedia Spotlight wiki pages would be a good place to start.

And I believe the installation page has listed the most popular ways (using a jar, or set up a web service) to use the application.

It includes instructions on using the Java/Scala API with your own installation, or calling the Web Service.

There are some additional data needed to be downloaded to run your own server for full service, good time to make a coffee for yourself.
