Hi! I'm new to the list and to the whole Linked Data thing altoghether, but will have to work on it for some time so I'll be exploring the DBpedia SPARQL end-point for a project we are working on.
The thing is, it is based on Portuguese resources, and I was wondering first of all what is the general feeling on working with DBpedia on other-than-english resources. For example, (and this is my concrete question), is there a way to correctly order results so accented characters are also correctly ordered? If I try this example query on http://dbpedia.org/sparql : SELECT ?label WHERE { [] skos:subject <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:Portuguese_writers> ; rdfs:label ?label . FILTER ( langMatches(lang(?label), "PT") ) } ORDER BY ?label I get this results http://dbpedia.org/sparql?default-graph-uri=http://dbpedia.org&should-sponge=&query=SELECT+%3Flabel%0D%0AWHERE+{%0D%0A[]+skos:subject+%3Chttp://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:Portuguese_writers%3E+;%0D%0A+++rdfs:label+%3Flabel+.%0D%0A%0D%0AFILTER+(+langMatches(lang(%3Flabel),+%22PT%22)+)%0D%0A}%0D%0AORDER+BY+%3Flabel&format=text/html&debug=on&timeout= Notice that at the end ... Urbano Tavares Rodrigues Vasco Graça Moura Vitorino Nemésio Álvaro Cunhal "Álvaro" gets incorrectly ordered at the end. Is this dependent on the underlying store (much like SQL collations)? Is there something that can be done on my side to get this query ordered like it should be for Portuguese / UTF8 (some notation in SPARQL or specific to DBpedia / Virtuoso )? Thanks and keep up the good work!! This is a truly impresive project!
