Hi Jona,
thanks! IIRC, we decided for not adding the DEF (DBpedia Extraction
Framework) as a dependency to pignlproc in order to reduce the size of the
jar that has to be shipped to each hadoop node. So I think somebody just
snagged the code into our codebase.

It would be very neat if these reusable classes would be somehow separated
into a "DBpedia Core" module that could be imported by any project that
depends on DBpedia. We also use the similar Disambiguation class, and the
WikiUtil for encoding/decoding URIs.

Cheers,
Pablo
