I turned my attention to somebody more people would care about (I think the only person who got a multiple page obituary in The Economist.)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/David_Bowie I do a request with jena, which gets the TTL file and gives the error Exception in thread "main" org.apache.jena.riot.RiotException: [line: 781, col: 29] Failed to find a prefix name or keyword: –(8211;0x2013) As indicated in the error message, the character in question is an en dash, which is unicode codepoint 0x2013. dbr:The_Deram_Anthology_1966–1968 dbp:artist dbr:David_Bowie ; where the dash appears between "1966" and "1968". I think this is a DBpedia problem because looking at the productions in the Turtle Spec [163s] PN_CHARS_BASE ::= [A-Z] | [a-z] | [#x00C0-#x00D6] | [#x00D8-#x00F6] | [#x00F8-#x02FF] | [#x0370-#x037D] | [#x037F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] | [#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#xEFFFF] [164s] PN_CHARS_U ::= PN_CHARS_BASE | '_' [166s] PN_CHARS ::= PN_CHARS_U | '-' | [0-9] | #x00B7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040] I don't see the en dash in any of those ranges and I don't see it in the list of characters you can escape with a \ so I think you have to encode this in something other than prefix form. Could we get this fixed? -- Paul Houle paul.ho...@ontology2.com Try the Ontology2 Edition of DBpedia 2016-04 https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01HMUNH4Q/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ DBpedia-discussion mailing list DBpedia-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion
