Hi Daniel

I don't represent either OpenLink/DBPedia but I suspect that the JSON is being generated on the fly when you request it so for a topic like the US which has a large number of Triples this might take a rather long time hence the time outs and/or JSON errors you've been experiencing.

Are you reliant on using the JSON (i.e. consuming it immediately in a Javascript application) or are you using a general purpose RDF/Semantic Web API? If you are doing the latter then it may be easier and more efficient to just pull back the RDF/XML or Turtle representation of the data and transform it to JSON on your end.


Rob,

At the time of Daniel's post the DBpedia instance had issues re. number of concurrent connections from all over the Web. Thus, irrespective of representation, the problem would have been the same i.e., http://dbpedia.org/page/United_States even timed out.

Daniel: I assume this problem no longer occurs? I just retrieved http://dbpedia.org/data/United_States.json for good measure :-)

Happy New Year!

Kingsley

*Subject:* [Dbpedia-discussion] JSON Format Errors

Hello everyone,

I'm using dbpedia online access functionality, retrieving the queries in JSON format, and I've been experiencing a couple of issues.

Most often I get the error "Transaction timed out" or "JSONDecodeError" so I set up my code to wait 10 seconds before trying again, but with certain queries I have to wait a long time (like a minute) before finally getting the data, can anyone explain why this happens?

Also, I've noted that certain queries simply don't seem to exist in dbpedia. For instance, there's the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States but http://dbpedia.org/data/United_States.json returns a "Transaction timed out" error, is this supposed to happen? Doesn't dbpedia mirror every wikipedia page (excluding recent ones, of course) ?

I love dbpedia when I get it to work correctly, so I'd much appreciate if you could help me enjoy it as much as possible.

Cheers,

Daniel Loureiro
