We show that Wikipedia contains a vast amount of knowledge about, e.g., named entities, domain specific terms, and rare word senses. If Wikipedia is to be used as a lexical semantic resource in large-scale NLP tasks, efficient programmatic access to the knowledge therein is required. We review existing access mechanisms and show that they are limited with respect to performance and the provided access functions. Therefore, we introduce a general purpose, high performance Java-based Wikipedia API that overcomes these limitations. It is available for research purposes at http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/software/WikipediaAPI.stuff from citeyoulikehttp://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/25bd4728f8bcbf00e580f854fcb55a732/brightbytebrightbyte2008-02-10T02:19:38+01:00semanticweb API WW-MUST wikipedia relatedness sematic <span style="color:#555555;">S.
