Hi Tim,

The ontology is the shared one for all languages for which mappings exist (24 languages for DBpedia 3.9). Some properties, like age, might not be used in English DBpedia, but only in other languages. For instance, age is used here:
http://fr.dbpedia.org/page/Horreur_%C3%A0_Arkham

Best,
Volha

You're welcome!

If you are mostly interested on exploring data (for navigators and similar tools), I suggest starting from exploring properties usage from the endpoint, and then analyse backwards how the Concepts/Properties are modelled. For some use case (especially for visualizations/navigations/let's say serendipity in general) this approach may be useful.

    Hi Alfredo,
      Thanks for your reply.  Indeed I should have read the
    documentation better.  It makes sense now, although I didn't find
    any instances of 'http://dbpedia.org/ontology/age' relations or a
    number of other /ontology/* property relations in the .nq files
    from http://downloads.dbpedia.org/3.9/en/.

    Best regards,

    Tim.

    Hi here is a discussion which may be of interest:
    
http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/12166/dbpedia-ontology-property-vs-dbpedia-property

    moreover:
    http://mappings.dbpedia.org/server/ontology/classes/

    however if the goal is to find what is the property actually used
    on data instances in order to reconstruct them live, I suggest
    using SPARQL COUNT directly on the endpoint

        Hi All,
           I'm working on a tool for explore RDF data.  Recently I've
        been trying to load the DBPedia 3.9 data into this tool
        however I've noticed that the DBPedia OWL file defines some
        properties with '/ontology/' as the path while in the
        datasets the predicate has '/property/'.  An example of such
        a property would be http://dbpedia.org/ontology/age vs
        http://dbpedia.org/property/age. I was wondering if the owl
        file is correct?  I haven't worked with OWL ontologies much
        so I may have assumed they are simpler than they are.

        Thanks in advance.
          Tim.
