Hello all,
my name is Moritz Stefaner. I am new to this list, but have been
following the semantic web and linking open data discussions for quite
a while now. My main field of activity is user interface design and
especially visualization. You can see some of my interests and work at
my blog (http://well-formed-data.net).
I am currently working on a EU funded research project, which aims at
interconnecting eLearning contents about architecture and design
(http://mace-project.eu
), and we would love to connect to and reuse existing information
about architectural projects, architects, styles etc..
For a first impression, some interface demos can be found at:
http://interface.mace-project.eu/demos/classificationBrowser/
We are currently working on a widget-based web portal to allow
metadata based search and browsing of architectural resources and
projects.
So we started to explore freebase and dbpedia about information about
architectural projects, and several questions popped up. Forgive me if
they already have been answered, I only superficially skimmed the
archives.
* We can easily get >15000 projects from freebase [1], even along with
Wikipedia keys, but which of the multiple keys are the ones used in
dbpedia? Is there any fixed rule/heuristics which to use?
* The dbpedia data on buildings seems richer - but I can't find out
how to retrieve ALL architectural projects in dbpedia. I tried [2]
athttp://dbpedia.org/sparql
, but it stops athttp://dbpedia.org/resource/Beijing_Zoo
* Also, I find it hard to find out which properties buildings
typically have in dbpedia. How do you do that? Just inspect lots of
instances? Any tricks there?
I would appreciate any help and advice. Please answer in simple terms
as we are quite new to this and mostly application/front-end oriented :)
Beste Grüße,
Moritz Stefaner
