Hi,
I'm almost done on a work that I'm doing around DBpedia, and here is a
collection of loose comments / suggestions that I want to ask you guys:

 - I've installed Virtuoso 6.0.0 on a server and loaded DBpedia, following
the DBPedia installation
script<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00632.html>given
published early this year on this mailing list, mostly to avoid
hammering the DBpedia service for some upcoming jobs that I'm planning to
do. It's working and with surprisingly no problems at the moment, but I miss
the snorql service. How can I replicate it?

 - The prefixes as stated on the SNORQL page are somehow outdated...
dbpedia-owl is missing.

 - insisting (again) on a subject that I've addresses a couple of months
ago... when are you planning on starting to create Core datasets for other
languages? back then, the suggestion was to use LANG.dbpedia.org graphs...
well, I could really use it, and I'm ready to help you out in Portuguese.

 - DBpedia should have a sort of "troubleshoot" page, as there are many
users (myself included) that fall for the same issues - for instance, the
encoding threads  - and work-around suggestions.

 - The DBpedia ontology is really a great resource, but I find it a little
unbalanced -- it could use more subclasses, some of them are really strange
(for instance, why Women Tennis Association Tournament as the only subclass
from Sports Events? Why does it need a subclass of its own? Shouldn't it
also have other subclasses?) Are you planning on revising it? I have my own
couple of suggestions to make...

Cheers,
