Hello, I have a question about using DBpedia properties.
I'm working on an iPad app for visually browsing Wikipedia with radial tree layouts. My colleagues and I published a proof-of-concept app called 'WikiNodes': http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikinodes/id433834594?mt=8 We want to improve the layout and content of the app using DBPedia data. For example, for a primary node "Paris", a child node could be "Birthplace of", and then we'd list ~10 of the people with dbpedia-owl:birthPlace. Where/how can we find some guidance on DBpedia properties, and whether to use them? -- e.g., a list of all the properties, their frequency of use, what they mean (if it's not obvious), and whether they are reliable or buggy? Does this exist, or should we extract statistics from the downloads? Also, if this project catches the interest of any list members, I can tell you more about our project, as we'd welcome any insights, ideas or input on how to use DBpedia data for an app for the general public. Thanks, Michael Douma www.idea.org P.S. here's a preliminary list of the properties we could probably use: dcterms:subject, dbpprop:spouse, dbpprop:shortDescription, dbpprop:placeOfBirth, dbpprop:place, dbpprop:origin, dbpprop:nobleFamily, dbpprop:mother, dbpprop:locationCity, dbpprop:location, dbpprop:location, dbpprop:locale, dbpprop:largestcity, dbpprop:knownFor, dbpprop:influences, dbpprop:homeTown, dbpprop:firstProduced, dbpprop:father, dbpprop:died, dbpprop:currency, dbpprop:countryofbirth, dbpprop:capital, dbpprop:buildingType, dbpprop:based, dbpprop:author, dbpedia-owl:writer, dbpedia-owl:type, dbpedia-owl:place, dbpedia-owl:Muscle, dbpedia-owl:Language, dbpedia-owl:kingdom, dbpedia-owl:isPartOfMilitaryConflict, dbpedia-owl:influencedBy, dbpedia-owl:genus, dbpedia-owl:family, dbpedia-owl:education, dbpedia-owl:division, dbpedia-owl:deathPlace, dbpedia-owl:commander, dbpedia-owl:college, dbpedia-owl:class, dbpedia-owl:capital, dbpedia-owl:birthPlace, dbpedia-owl:award, dbpedia-owl:almaMater, ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
