Hi,

I'm having difficulty querying dbpedia using the sparql interface on

http://dbpedia-live.openlinksw.com/sparql

I'm requesting the label, abstract and a list of redirects, and  
approx. 20% of the time I'm just getting the redirects.  With an  
internal instance, running an older snapshot of dbpedia, I'm seeing  
the same problem for around 1% of queries.  In every example I've  
checked, the dbpedia id is still current.

So, here are some examples.

Failing on dbpedia-live only
        Adolf_Hitler
        Chicago
        Dora_Bryan
        Emma_Thompson
        Ferrari

Failing on snapshot only
        Austriamicrosystems
        Valery_Gergiev
        Lady_Rachel_Billington

Failing on both
        G20
        Darcy_Edwards

This is the query I'm using, where '$lod_id' is one of the strings  
listed above.

SELECT ?label, ?abstract, ?redirect, COUNT(?wikilink)
     WHERE {
     {
     <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$lod_id> <http://dbpedia.org/ 
property/abstract> ?abstract .
     FILTER ( langMatches( lang(?abstract), 'en') || ! langMatches 
(lang(?abstract),'*') ) .
     <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$lod_id> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/ 
rdf-schema#label> ?label .
     FILTER ( langMatches( lang(?label), 'en') || ! langMatches(lang(? 
label),'*') ) .
     }
     UNION
     {
     OPTIONAL {
     ?redirect <http://dbpedia.org/property/redirect> <http:// 
dbpedia.org/resource/$lod_id> .
     OPTIONAL { ?wikilink <http://dbpedia.org/property/wikilink>  ? 
redirect }
     }
     }
     }

Can anyone suggest why this might fail for valid entries?

TIA
