That's why, when I do generic database work (either dbpedia or
freebase) I like to download the whole thing. If you're doing a little
bit at a time, integrity problems have a way of going unnoticed. For
instance, when I loaded all of dbpedia into a non-RDF system that was
case insensitive for titles, it was clear that wikipedia has 10,000 or
so entry pairs like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_instruction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Instruction
here you've got two similar but different items that differ in title
only by case. In general you want a human-friendly search engine or
search completion facility to be case insensitive, "alan alda" should
turn up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Alda
but you also need something that can correctly handle labels/urls
that vary only by case without breaking. Had I used a standard RDF
stack for my work with dbpedia, I would have blasted right by many
integrity issues that the system I built forced me to confront.
