Thanks Pablo.

The first thing to do would be fixing the parsing error. There is not
much point in adding a property that will contain mostly bad data.

It looks like the infobox property contains a link to a file
description page which itself points to some vector or bitmap files.

I understand the parser is written in Scala, which I do not know.

I can research all this a little more and report back if I find anything doable.

But before I do that, what would be the position (interest) of the
DBpedia project regarding binary image data?

In the thread you provide below, Christopher Sahnwaldt mentions that
licenses of image files might be an issue. That's surprising to me. I
imagined that dbpedia would license data under the same license as
Wikipedia itself. Is that too naive?

Thanks,
Nic
