The DBpedia Relationship Finder tries to find connections between two things. The underlying knowledge base is the DBpedia data set (DBpedia website). To use the relationship finder you just have to type in two objects in the form. If Javascript is activated in your browser, you will automatically get autocompletion suggestions (usually the entered objects have to correspond to names of articles in the English Wikipedia). The form also allows you to restrict the number of results and the depth of search - if the connections between the two entered objects are long the search can be very time-consuming. Enjoy using the DBpedia relationship finder!

• usage of the DBpedia Infobox data set, i.e. a lot of information which is stored in Wikipedia in (semi-)structured form is available
• a cluster analysis of the underlying RDF data allows to quickly determine whether a connection between the two given objects exist - furthermore, the relationship finder can even give an upper limit on the length of connection and provide a preview result (which is not guarenteed to be the shortest connection)
• number of results and depth of search can configured
• the advanced settings allow you to ignore objects and properties as you like
• use of AJAX technology - information is loaded in the background without having to reload the entire page
• for each object you can view the information available about it (if the server is under heavy load this can take some time)
• clicking on an object directly takes you to the related DBpedia article
• the queries you made can be stored, which allows you to make interesting connections available for others
• stored queries are cached and thus cause no significant server load
• stored queries can be ordered by popularity and date
