Clover Quiz: A trivia game powered by DBpedia

“…In this regard, DBpedia is one of the preferred knowledge sources due to its quality and breadth of topic coverage. There are several works in the literature that use DBpedia to generate quiz questions, such as [5,12,16,18,19,23,24,29]. Most of them are early demonstrators that are no longer available.…”

“…To improve latency, some initiatives take small snapshots of DBpedia and run their own triple stores, e.g. [5] and [19]; [12] uses a question cache; and [29] creates the question set off-line. Clover Quiz also adopts the latter approach, but it goes further by transforming the crawled data into JSON to facilitate the generation of questions, in particular to exploit Wikipedia categories.…”

“…An appealing application case is the generation of questions for trivia games from DBpedia. Some preliminary attempts can be found in the literature [5,12,18,19,29], but these initiatives have fallen short due to simple question generation schemes that are not able to produce varied, large, and entertaining questions. Specifically, supported question types are rather limited, reported sizes of the generated question sets are relative low (in the range of thousands), and no user base seems to exist.…”
