DBLife: A Community Information Management Platform for the Database Research Community

Summary: DBLife: a deployed community information-management platform for the DB research community that bootstraps from an expert seed and uses focused extraction plus entity recognition/disambiguation over heterogeneous Web sources to build an entity-relationship graph. Community feedback refines and evolves the graph and powers services (daily newsletter, entity super-homepages, event tracking); live 1.5 yrs, ~900 sources, ~16.6k entities, ~335k mentions.
