    The 1.0/1.1 clunkiness is just temporary, but I feel obliged to
    point out the hand-waving in this join-via-URI-concatenation...
    What now? You don't like the manner in which a solution has been
    constructed? What are you looking for here?


I really think you can figure out for yourself what's not so great about this "solution". But to go ahead and state the obvious, this is concatenating wordnet's rdfs:label for these planets directly into a dbpedia URI. This will only work if the identifiers happen to line up exactly. Which they do in the case of these 8 (!) entities, but I wouldn't want to rely on that tactic in general.

Again, is it about quibbling about tactics or solving the problem.

Stop quibbling, contribute a solution. That's my fundamental point. Each time someone attempts to make a contribution you quibble without ever providing an alternative. It' really really easy to quibble. Much harder to do and be judged.

How about a solution from you? Then sit back and enjoy the effects of others quibbling about your solution without any sense of what its taken you to produce said solution etc..
