Hi,

Please take a look at this wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Harvard_University_people


Why is it converted into triples in dbpedia of the sort:

<http://dbpedia.org/resource/List_of_Harvard_University_people> 
<http://dbpedia.org/property/name> <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Edward_Said>


The Harvard university people don't have the property name of each of its 
members, but this is what we ended up with in dbpedia. More specifically the 
semantics of the name property seem to me to be confused here (I am not talking 
about its intuitive meaning to us but the meaning that comes from consistent 
correct use). For example the name property is used to map a URI of a person to 
the string of their name such as:

<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Edward_Kenny> <http://dbpedia.org/property/name> 
"The Hon. Sir Edward Kenny"

I am interested in getting some feedback on this... My last post on infoboxes 
was unanswered so if you are kind enough to look at that too, I would be very 
thankful!
