[Dbpedia-discussion] Geographic Coordinates of Places

Hello Everybody I have a couple of questions and probably you have the correct answer that I can't find. 1) I'm retrieving city points using the SPARQL endpoint and I find that there are various predicates for the geographic coordinates: geo:lat , geo:long, geo:POINT, grs:point and geo:geometry

[Dbpedia-discussion] Data returned on dbpedia.org/ontology/

2012-05-30 Thread Adrian Gschwend
Hi group, We work on some software which heavily relies on the ontologies used by the data. This means we dereference the ontologies used on data sets and do some inference to figure out additional stuff about the data. For most ontologies this works pretty well. Last week we were test driving

+100! Separation of T-Box and A-Box descriptions seems quite a reasonable requirement, in particular when there are so many instances! Or does it mean that the only way to describe the class Person is in extension : nobody can provide a definition of what a Person is, but everybody knows when she

Thanks. Your answers and links helped a lot. But, It would be nice to review how DBpedia obtains the geo:lat,geo:lon and geo:geometry because there are resources with incoherent data (geo:lat has an apparently incorrect value while the dbpedia extractions from Wikipedia are correct). If those

Separation of schema and instances is a good solution for this symptom. The root of the problem seems to be that when the amount of data grows, just returning everything you know about something is not going to cut it. A solution for that seems to be still missing. Perhaps we need a mechanism of

Any other ideas? What about an 'statistical' approach? Most people will type number in their locale format, and the common pitfall is to use the English format. If the number format is correct English, and the statics say that most numbers are xx format, the number could be converted to the
