Hi all
I recently discovered, that DBpedia unnecessarily encodes '(' and ')'
in URLs to '%28' and '%29' because both
RFC 1738 Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
RFC 2396 (URI Generic Syntax) and
define that "(" and ")" can be normally used within URLs.
For most of the cases requests with the unencoded variant of the URL
would not return any results
e.g.
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Family_%28biology%29
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Family_(biology) -> not found
Wikipedia allows access with both variants.
In some cases DBpedia provides different information for both variants
of the URL
e.g.
http://dbpedia.org/page/Republican_Party_%28United_States%29
http://dbpedia.org/page/Republican_Party_(United_States)
As far as I can say this affects all URLs that use '(' and ')'
A similar thing is also the case for URLs that include an "#"
e.g.
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Midfielder%23Winger is an own Resource
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Midfielder#Winger returns the contents
for Midfielder
