Hi Matteo, and thanks for the links. Actually I do not feel very confortable with the Uberblic search API as a valid replacement of the DBpedia lookup service. As Georgi said somewhere on the Internet, uberblic search api is like dbpedia lookup service on steroids, and is its natural (unique) replacement now. Well, the problem is that it may also have "steroids", but I preferred the old service without steroids and with natural muscles. :-) Here my considerations: 1) uberblic Search API is not tailored on DBpedia, but on different sources (ok, there is enwikipedia, but it is not exactly the same); 2) the results are quite different from the old DBpedia lookup service. For example, with the old lookup service I was able to type “Jav” to obtain, among the very first results, the DBpedia URI for the “Java (programming language)” (http://dbpedia.org/resource/Java_%28programming_language%29). On the contrary if I try this query: http://platform.uberblic.org/api/search_autocomplete?query=source:enwikipedia+Java&num_results=100 <http://platform.uberblic.org/api/search_autocomplete?query=source:enwikipedia+Java&num_results=100> I can not found the expected results neither among the first 100 results. all the best, roberto > > Il 10/01/11 15:11, Stephen Betts ha scritto: >> Hello, >> >> We've been using the Look-up service at lookup.dbpedia.org for a while, and >> just seen that it seems to be down at the moment. >> >> Does anyone know whether this is temporary or a permanent outage? >> (Apologies if this was mentioned on-list before and I missed it). >> >> Thanks very much, >> >> Stephen. >> >> > Matteo Moci > Cybion Srl > http://twitter.com/matteomoci > http://matteomoci.wordpress.com > http://about.me/matteomoci/bio > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company > that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
