 * DBpedia is "a project aiming to extract structured content from the information created as part of the Wikipedia project. This structured information is then made available on the World Wide Web."
 * In 2011, the Web of Linked Data grew to a size of about 32 billion RDF triples
 * Structured data exists in Wikipedia infoboxes
 * Infoboxes are like NCBI's Linkout for Wikipedia
 * Example, showing link to GeneReviews: Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (full list)
 * Also uses Infobox disease and MeSH
 * Infoboxes could be updated by bots - see Portal:Gene Wiki and Wikidata
