About the DBpedia internationalization committee,
is it going to be more technical of it will take a formal form?
i am asking this because if it is going to be formal, maybe it would be
better if a professor or a university would come in front.
(I am an MSc student, but I want to get involved either way...)
right now i am in the process of creating a patch in order to select the
encoding format (URI/IRI) in the configuration file
i also created a wiki page (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Internationalization)
where i will write some information/guides/issues etc,
when it is complete it could included in the main menu
now, in order to find contacts, i could write a mail/call to the
dbpedia-discussion list, and to seperate contacts
it could also help if you could point me to a list of all the custom
dbpedias (xx.dbpedia.org) to search for contacts, (and to be included in the
wiki page)
regards,
Jim
