Hi, I guess, the easiest (but maybe only partial correct) answer to this is that Wikipedia is improving its coverage of coordinates and the DBpedia dump is lagging. See here: http://dbpedia-live.openlinksw.com/resource/Brienz Another answer could be that the mapping of geocoordinates raw properties to "good" coordinates is not yet in place in the new java/scala framework. and the mappings wiki, Regards, Sebastian
