  This article presents the application of the Universal Named Entity framework
to generate automatically annotated corpora. By using a workflow that extracts
Wikipedia data and meta-data and DBpedia information, we generated an English
dataset which is described and evaluated. Furthermore, we conducted a set of
experiments to improve the annotations in terms of precision, recall, and
F1-measure. The final dataset is available and the established workflow can be
applied to any language with existing Wikipedia and DBpedia. As part of future
research, we intend to continue improving the annotation process and extend it
to other languages.
