KnowledgeNet is a benchmark dataset for the task of automatically populating a knowledge base (Wikidata) with facts
expressed in natural language text on the web. KnowledgeNet provides text exhaustively annotated with facts, thus
enabling the holistic end-to-end evaluation of knowledge base population systems as a whole, unlike previous benchmarks
that are more suitable for the evaluation of individual subcomponents (e.g., entity linking, relation extraction).
For instance, the dataset contains text expressing the fact (Gennaro Basile; RESIDENCE; Moravia), in the passage:
"Gennaro Basile was an Italian painter, born in Naples but active in the German-speaking countries. He settled at Brünn,
in Moravia, and lived about 1756..."

EMNLP paper.
