Greetings dbpedians,

In doing some linking of metadata here at the Library of Congress to
dbpedia [1,2] we came up with a couple of questions:

1. Is it right that a URI for a resource that doesn't have a
corresponding resource in WIkipedia returns a 303 See Other to
application/rdf+xml and text/html URIs, which in turn 200 OK?

e...@rorty:~$ curl --include --header "Accept: application/rdf+xml"
http://dbpedia.org/resource/sdiljelsfkdiejlsk
HTTP/1.1 303 See Other
Server: Virtuoso/06.00.3121 (Solaris) x86_64-sun-solaris2.10-64  VDB
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:00:26 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
TCN: choice
Vary: negotiate,accept
Content-Location: sdiljelsfkdiejlsk.xml
Content-Type: application/rdf+xml; qs=0.95

</rdf:RDF>

My expectation is that http.org/resource/sdiljelsfkdiejlsk,
http.org/data/sdiljelsfkdiejlsk and http.org/page/sdiljelsfkdiejlsk
would all 404. But perhaps this expectation is faulty?

2. Also, I see in the docs [3] that dbpedia integrates the data dumps
from all the wikipedias, not just the English language one (which is
awesome). I also notice that the URIs for dbpedia use English labels,
like http://dbpedia.org/page/Library. Is it safe to say that this is
the canonical URI for libraries and that there wouldn't be one say for
http://dbpedia.org/page/Bibliotheque?

Oh, and let me also take the time to say, thanks for all your hard
work and vision in making this wonderful web resource available.
