I continue to think it's hilarious that you consider it "subjectively
imperfect" that your dataset says Michael Jackson and Michael Rodrick
are the same person. What would constitute "objectively imperfect" to you?
The problem is this: I isn't my dataset. It's data loaded into an
instance of Virtuoso.
So yes, I think you should feel a little embarrassed about
broadcasting links to a demo in which the very first piece of data one
sees is obviously wrong.
To you the first piece of that is an owl:sameAs assertion. That's 100%
fine for you, but that isn't true for everyone else. It just isn't.
You've got billions of entities in dbpedia, and the technology doesn't
care which one you pick, so surely you could pick one where the errors
aren't as prominent.
No, DBpedia doesn't have a billions of entities, that just one dataset.
The Virtuoso instance in question is a LOD cloud cache instance i.e.,
we've loaded the available datasets into the instance. From that I
produce a variety of demos. Just as anyone else can since the endpoints
are all public.
The fact that you didn't, and don't seem to care, sends a message
about your attitude towards data.
Again, context infidelity. In due course you will understand my point.
For now, we can go back an forth. You characterization is 100% inaccurate.
