Interesting. I wonder why the FAO decided to introduce separate predicates for labels in languages instead of using the language tag. Eg:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://aims.fao.org/aos/geopolitical.owl#Cuba";> <nameCurrencyIT rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string";>peso cubano</nameCurrencyIT> <nameCurrencyAR rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string";>بيسو</nameCurrencyAR> <nameCurrencyFR rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string";>peso</nameCurrencyFR> instead of something like <nameCurrency xml:lang="fr">peso</nameCurrency> <nameCurrency xml:lang="it">peso cubano</nameCurrency> Ivan On Mar 22, 2011, at 10:26 , Boris Villazón Terrazas wrote: > Hi Aldo > > The FAO Geopolitical Ontology > > http://www.fao.org/countryprofiles/geoinfo.asp > > http://aims.fao.org/aos/geopolitical.owl > > Best > > Boris > > > > On 22/03/2011 7:01, Aldo Bucchi wrote: >> Hi guys, >> I don't usually do this but I would like some help in finding a high >> quality list of "current" ( not Sparta ) and "real" ( not Mordor ) >> countries with the following props: >> >> * ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code >> * English Name >> * Flag >> * Local Name ( optional ) >> * Language ( optional ) >> * Population ( optional ) >> * Facebook ID ( would be cool, but I imagine this is harder ) >> >> I am finding pieces of this dataset here and there ( DBPedia, >> Freebase, CIAWFB, GeoNames ) with varying coverage and quality. >> In case you are wondering: Yes, I *AM* trying to save myself some work ;) >> >> Shameless crowd sourcing. >> >> Thanks! >> A >> >> -- >> Aldo Bucchi >> @aldonline >> skype:aldo.bucchi >> http://facebook.com/aldo.bucchi >> http://aldobucchi.com/ >> >> > > ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 PGP Key: http://www.ivan-herman.net/pgpkey.html FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
