Wikipedia and DBpedia: the English and German articles JudaicaLink uses

The English and German Wikipedia articles, and their DBpedia resources, that JudaicaLink uses: every article our datasets or the other authority datasets name, with its current title, the Wikidata item of the article, and the facts the former dataset dbpedia-persons had about persons.

Per language, an article and its DBpedia resource are one identifier (decision 0031): data/dbpedia/en/<title> and data/dbpedia/de/<title>. Wikipedia renames articles; an old title is followed to the current article and recorded as replaced by it, a title that no longer exists as deprecated. Other languages are linked, not described. The records of dbpedia-persons (2018) are replaced by the records of their articles.
