Hi,

Let me give an example:

Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Meyer

Dbpedia Page:
http://dbpedia.org/page/George_Meyer

Let's look at the wikipedia text and see who this guy was influenced by:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_(magazine) as the infobox tells us on the 
right.

In dbpedia, however we learn that
the our subject, George Meyer, has http://dbpedia.org/property/influences
''Mad'' magazine by David Owen. Published in ''the New Yorker'' on March 13, 
2000. Owen notes in the article that at the time of its writing, he had known 
Meyer for nearly 25 years, when they were both students and members of the 
''Harvard Lampoon'' writing staff. (en)


My first question is where is this coming from? Is this from an older wikipedia 
page? I could not readily see that in the history tab in wikipedia. Is there a 
way to map versions between dbpedia and wikipedia?

Also in dbpedia we see another different influences uri:
http://dbpedia.org/ontology/influences

with the following objects:
    * dbpedia:Harvard_Lampoon
    * dbpedia:Mad_%28magazine%29
    * dbpedia:The_New_Yorker

Where are these in wikipedia and how do the two influences properties relate?


The last question is that I can find entries in dbpedia with only two URI's in 
a row:
for example:

<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Mujtaba_Musavi_Lari>
       <http://dbpedia.org/property/influences>

but no object....
if you go to wikipedia, there is no object either. So this is a triple that is 
not really a triple?


I know the conversion is not trivial, I just want to understand what to make of 
this and what semantics I can expect to find in dbpedia so any comments would 
be very appreciated.
Thanks much!
Marvin
