imho I don't think that comparing DBpedia with its live version is the solution. In addition to having to double-check each resource, if something is different in the live version, it does not mean that surely there was an error in the previous version: the error could be in the live version. I remember some time ago, I was looking for the DBpedia live page about the programming language PHP, and the abstract reported: "PHP: Problèmes d'Hygiène Personnelle". :-) Unfortunately vandalism is quite widespread in WIkipedia. Probably, at least nowadays, there are better datasets than DBpedia that offer more accurate geolocation, as you pointed out with LinkedGeoData. Besides the problem of geographical coordinates, as I mentioned in the previous message, I think it's a problem doing "reasoning" on resources belonging to two different datasets, linked through owl: sameAs, and having inconsistent information. Probably reasoning on Linked Data (I mean, not a single dataset) is not yet completely mature. -- Regards, Roberto Mirizzi PhD Student at Politecnico di Bari (Italy) http://sisinflab.poliba.it/mirizzi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Dbpedia-discussion mailing list Dbpedia-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion
