Hi

I recently fixed both demos written by me and featured on the Use
Cases<http://wiki.dbpedia.org/UseCases>page. These had broken due to
vocab changes in dbpedia and a problem with my
server as discussed in my blog <http://kitwallace.posterous.com/tag/dbpedia>

Checking again today, they are broken again:

Football <http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/xmlwiki/RDF/clubIndex.xq> - for a
footballer, the property dbpprop:currentclub was reasonably well populated
to reflect the current players in a team. Now that property is present for
only a few players, too few to be be useful.  Some teams now have
dbpprop:name referencing a player which is wrong.

One problem here is that the relationship between a player and a team is not
a resource.  This leads to multiple disassociated dbpprop:name, dbpprop:no
(position) ,dbpprop:nat and dbpprop:other properties - see
http://dbpedia.org/page/Manchester_City_F.C. as an example. If team
membership was represented as a resource with these properties, then the
data would be meaningful and moreover dates could be added to allow team
composition at any time to be constructed.

Albums <http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/xmlwiki/RDF/groupIndex.xq> - when I wrote
this a couple of years ago, thumbnail pointed to a jpg and this demo looked
rather nice, especially the Simile timeline.  When I last fixed it, the
thumbnails had gone and only a local file name for the cover art was
available as dbpprop:cover.  Now thumbnails are back, but the URI is
garbled:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Bob_Seger_-_Like_a_Rock.jpg/200px-Bob_Seger_-_Like_a_Rock.jpg

should be
