Hi,

I try to access resource descriptions on DBpedia via HTTP, but often the data 
returned is, although valid and correct, incomplete and therefore not really 
useful in an application.

For instance, accessing

$ curl -I -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" 
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Microsoft_Windows

redirects to http://dbpedia.org/data/Microsoft_Windows.xml

When retrieving this, around 10,000 RDF triples are returned, but none of them 
has http://dbpedia.org/resource/Microsoft_Windows in the subject -- only as 
object. This means that I cannot get a label, a description, or any other 
information about the resource itself.

Any suggestions how to circumvent this? I could use an explicit SPARQL query 
but this would couple my application to the specific endpoint, which I want to 
avoid -- I'd rather access resource descriptions via "pure" Linked Data 
principles.

many thanks,
Bernhard
