To whom it may interest,

Full of delight, I would like to announce the first beta release of 
*StrepHit*:

TL;DR: StrepHit is an intelligent reading agent that understands text 
and translates it into *referenced* Wikidata statements.
It is a IEG project funded by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Key features:
-Web spiders to harvest a collection of documents (corpus) from reliable 
sources
-automatic corpus analysis to understand the most meaningful verbs
-sentences and semi-structured data extraction
-train a machine learning classifier via crowdsourcing
-*supervised and rule-based fact extraction from text*
-Natural Language Processing utilities
-parallel processing
