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!
