How often DBpedia is updated with Wikipedia data?

I'd like to get an instance of DBpedia data, for example on the service provided by Kingsley . But I wonder how often DBpedia is updated, if new articles are created on Wikipedia, how could I know that I am getting fresh data. I saw that las update was October / November 2010. When is going to be the next one? I also would like to know if there is some other service like the one mentioned before. I also looked to Freebase, but I think DBpedia is a good choice.

5	We (AKSW@Uni Leipzig) have a live extraction endpoint available at DBpedia Live. answered Jun 21 '11 at 16:40 LorenzBuehmann 86●1

The cycles in which DBpedia datasets are released vary somewhat. It is approximately twice a year. The last release (3.6) was in January 2011, using the Wikipedia dumps from October/November 2010 because Wikimedia had problems producing new dumps at the time.

The next release (3.7) is probably going to be in August 2011.

2	There is also an OpenLink-provided "DBpedia-live" test site which reflects Wikipedia updates in near-realtime. answered Jun 22 '11 at 16:56 TallTed 375●1●5

1	dbpedia lite fetches its data live from the Wikipedia API as well. However, its descriptions aren't as expressive as DBPedia ones. answered Jun 29 '11 at 04:49 zazi 3.2k●1●10
