  text: In this paper we describe the Semantic Quran dataset, a multilingual RDF representation
    of translations of the Quran. The dataset was created by integrating data from
    two different semi-structured sources and aligned to an ontology designed to represent
    multilingual data from sources with a hierarchical structure. The resulting RDF
    data encompasses 43 different languages which belong to the most under-represented
    languages in the Linked Data Cloud, including Arabic, Amharic and Amazigh. We
    designed the dataset to be easily usable in natural-language processing applications
    with the goal of facilitating the development of knowledge extraction tools for
    these languages. In particular, the Semantic Quran is compatible with the Natural-Language
    Interchange Format and contains explicit morpho-syntactic information on the utilized
    terms. We present the ontology devised for structuring the data. We also provide
    the transformation rules implemented in our extraction framework. Finally, we
    detail the link creation process as well as possible usage scenarios for the Semantic
    Quran dataset.
