I guess i hit o hot-spot here...

the fact is that the current result looks pretty ugly
(attached photo, (from a small screen) about the resource http://dbpedia.org/resource/Icaria)

and although i am new in the field, i can see the problem mishca wrote about but i believe that such inconsistencies still exist because it is a new field and not mature enough

our team and I decided to try to "Korean way" since, with the existing triples, we cannot write a query by hand
(and probably miss a few that include the forbidden characters)

is there an option in the extraction framework to export IRI's or a tool that converts them?
There has been an option in the old PHP framework. I'm not sure, if there is an option now in Java/Scala

@Sebastian
about the greek dbpedia,
we made the default extraction (with all extractors included), with some modification to the image extractor to extract the greek (free/non-free) images
but it is only articles with English links
( is there an option for that too? )
Same here: PHP yes, Java/Scala not yet. I would be happy, if we could make some progress with the internationalization of DBpedia.
First thing could be to include adapted extractors.
There are other people that are interested in extending the options. So it would be nice to form a DBpedia internationalization committee. Would you like to chair it? The engineering, coding and testing could be distributed on many shoulders. If yes, there be the need of some infrastructure for discussion. The Wiki is open to registration. I could also make a new mailinglist and/or give SVN accounts (althought they should be limited to few persons only). Maybe, we can make a list of contacts to other persons, which are interested to have an internationalized version of DBpedia, I think there is Korea, Portugal and some others. You could search the mailing list for a good start. Please tell me what you think of it. I really would like to see many international DBpedias, but I definitely do not have the time to do any coding/development in this direction.


and a last question,
we want to upload the triples, but, will we have to host el.dbpedia.org <http://el.dbpedia.org> on our own server or does dbpedia takes care of that?

Yes, OpenLink does a very good job hosting the English data + abstracts. I think hosting all 180+ language would be possible for them if you only account for the amount of data, but the manual coordination would be too much. It would mean that 3 times a week new dumps would need to be uploaded manually. Also having country specific DBpedia chapters, which handle their own data gives the whole thing more flexibility and new opportunities.

Cheers,
Sebastian
