Hi all,

I've been working on a small side project using DBPedia, and found that there are too many broken image links in DBPedia. e.g.

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Thank_You_%28Jamelia_album%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_You_%28Jamelia_album%29 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Jamelia_-_Thank_You_%28Version_1%29.jpg

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Siege_of_Tuyen_Quang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Tuyen_Quang http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Defense_of_Tuyen_Quan_bf_1923.jpg

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Yolo_County_Arts_Council http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yolo_County_Arts_Council http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Ycac.png


and many more. And there are some that are incorrect (I assume that this is due to errors in the extraction process) e.g. http://dbpedia.org/page/Grand_Duchy_of_Tuscany - foaf:depiction -> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Flag_of_France.svg

Perhaps checking for broken links now and then wouldn't be such a bad thing. Just an idea.

Also a lot of properties that seam to be duplicate properties for things: http://dbpedia.org/property/birthPlace and http://dbpedia.org/property/birthplace. Visor (http://visor.psi.enakting.org/) a tool I created is very good at surfacing such errors.

Sorry if I'm pointing out things that are already known problems but I'm new to this list so I thought I share my experience from a hacker/user perspective.

Best,

What about contributing a linkset with fixes?

As for the inconsistent properties matter, you have inference as an option re. DBpedia's SPARQL endpoint [1].
