Hi everyone, my name is Piero Molino and I'm a student form the University of Bary, Computer Science department. For my degree thesis I'm working on an ontology based retrieving algorithm and, after seeking for while, i decided to use DBpedia as my multi-domain ontology. Anyway I'm at the real beginning with SPARQL (links to books/tutorials/anything usefull are realy really welcome) and probably what now seems to me to be a problem really isn't: while I figured out how my algorithm would make inference over DBpedia, I'm lacking of the first step (wich isn't really what my thesis is about, so i can reuse someone else approach to it). Basically i have a list of words and i have to map each of them to a DBpedia resource. I trying to figure out how i can do it, i thought i could start taking a look at the free text search from the DBpedia website (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/OnlineAccess#h28-8 ) but for each example query I get a javascript+html response and an empty result. Isn't it working or it's me i can't undestand the results in the right way? Anyway simple text search wouldn't be enought because of disambiguation issues, so i thought i can use Gabrlovich's ESA (http://www.srcco.de/v/wikipedia-esa ) to retrieve a wikipedia page for each word in the list and then get the DBpedia resource relative to the wikipedia page. Because of my actual lack of expeience over SPARQL i don't know if there is a simplier way to achieve the same result. I would really appreciate if someone could help me both in extendind my SPARQL knowledge and in finding a better and simplier solution for the problem i'm trying to solve.
Thank you, Piero Molino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dbpedia-discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion
