Web enables to retrieve concise information about specific entities including people, organizations, movies and their features. Additionally, large amount of Web resources generally lies on a unstructured form and it tackles to find critical information for specific entities. Text analysis approaches such as Named Entity Recognizer and Entity Linking aim to identify entities and link them to relevant entities in the given knowledge base. To evaluate these approaches, there are a vast amount of general purpose benchmark datasets. However, it is difficult to evaluate domain-specific approaches due to lack of evaluation datasets for specific domains. This study presents WeDGeM that is a multilingual evaluation set generator for specific domains exploiting Wikipedia category pages and DBpedia hierarchy. Also, Wikipedia disambiguation pages are used to adjust the ambiguity level of the generated texts. Based on this generated test data, a use case for well-known Entity Linking systems supporting Turkish texts are evaluated in the movie domain.
