DBpedia fundamentally works on a 'dataset', and this can probably best be visualised as the structured data found in the many types of 'infoboxes' as found on the many different Wikipedias. DBpedia states that the dataset from the [[English Wikipedia]] consists of "3.77 million 'things' with 400 million 'facts'". The data is also available as 'localised' versions in over 110 [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]], which together describe 20.8 million things. | DBpedia fundamentally works on a 'dataset', and this can probably best be visualised as the structured data found in the many types of 'infoboxes' as found on the many different Wikipedias.
