Thanks for the response!

I will be downloading and working from a local database shortly, I am
running initial tests right now.

I was just wondering about this because DBPedia was down for a bit today,
so I wasn't able to access the files, and I wasn't sure if it was a server
issue or if I was being blocked for using a process to acquire data.

Thanks again,

Ariana
