Hi, I was trying to query some info box data (related to diseases)
using DBpedia's SPARQL endpoint. My query is

PREFIX dbpedia2: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
select ?x, ?medline, ?omim, ?icd10, ?diseasedb where {
?x a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Disease> .
?x <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/medlineplus> ?medline .
optional { ?x <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/omim> ?omim .} .
optional { ?x <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/icd10> ?icd10 .} .
optional { ?x dbpedia2:diseasesdb ?diseasedb .} .
}

While it returns many hits, some of the data seems to be missing,
whereas the Wikipedia page has it.

For example, for the Rickets entry, the Wikipedia page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickets) has a ICD-10 code of E55. But
the DBPedia RDF entry for it
(http://dbpedia.org/snorql/?describe=http://dbpedia.org/resource/Rickets)
does not list an ICD-10 code.

I seem to recall that the DBpedia infobox ontology was the preferred
way to query infobox data on DBPedia, but it does not seem to be in
sync with what Wikipedia has.

Is there a schedule that DBPedia follows to keep in sync with
Wikipedia? Or is this just a case of lossy conversion from Wikipedia
to DBpedia?
