Hello all ,

i wonder if there's some news about the RDF Dumps , should we send an email
to WikiData Tech considering this ?
but considering both cases i don't mind implementing the issue #38
<https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/issues/38>as a warm up
task until we decide that.


considering the URIs , i don't mind either to use any of both. however from
my experience in consuming DBpedia when i was new in semantic web , URIs
which had different namespaces was a bit confusing to us. as an instance ;
i never knew then the difference between <http://dbpedia.org/property/x>
and <http://http://dbpedia.org/ontology/x>, we used to query DBpedia many
times to know what kind of properties are there and we hardcoded all types
in our project ,and after many trials we found that the first one has a
larger coverage.

we should mention that in a place inside a wiki and also keep in mind to
keep it as simple as possible so whenever there's an opportunity to merge
things and unify namespaces for users we should do that , from my point of
view. and provide other gates for specific sources. in the end most of the
consumers are interested more in larger coverage and accurate data more
than anything else.


Thanks
Regards
