DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia has become a knowledge repository for virtually ever
 y topic in existence\, but its pages are intended to be read by humans\, n
 ot computers. The DBpedia organisation has extracted much of this knowledg
 e into an RDF-based entity graph format\, and we introduce and demonstrate
  a type provider that brings this knowledge into the F# language in a stro
 ngly typed way. High quality type providers require a significant developm
 ent effort. To address this we discuss an experimental framework to help b
 uild type providers compositionally from reusable components. In particula
 r\, we describe and demo a chaining combinator that links two or more exis
 ting type providers. A significant portion of this talk will be a live dem
 o of the aforementioned type provider technologies.
