Andy,
Great stuff, this is also why we are going to leave the current DBpedia
3.5 instance to stew for a while (until end of this week or a little
later).
DBpedia users:
Now is the time to identify problems with the DBpedia 3.5 dataset
dumps.
We don't want to continue reloading DBpedia (Static Edition and then
recalibrating DBpedia-Live) based on faulty datasets related
matters, we
do have other operational priorities etc..
"Faulty" is a bit strong.
Imperfect then, however subjective that might be :-)
Many of the warnings are legal RDF, but bad lexical forms for the
datatype, or IRIs that trigger some of the standard warnings (but
they are still legal IRIs). Should they be included or not? Seems to
me you can argue both for and against.
external_links_en.nt.bz2 is the largest source of broken IRIs.
DBpedia is a wonderful and important dataset, and being derived from
elsewhere is unlikely to ever be "perfect" (for some definition of
"perfect"). Better to have the data than to wait for perfection.
That's been the approach thus far.
Actually meant to say:
Anyway, as I said, we have a window of opportunity to identify current
issues prior to performing a 3.5.1 reload. ** I jwant to reduce the
reload cycles due to other items on our todo etc.. ***
:-)
