All -- A question has come up on the W3C RDF Working Group mailing list --
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2012Feb/0042.html> -- and in recent WG conference calls -- <http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/meeting/2012-02-08> -- about the semantics of fourth column values in the N-quads DBpedia downloads, e.g. -- http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads37 -- which are arguably one of the largest current uses of N-quads. The downloads page says "the N-Quads version contains additional provenance information for each statement", but does not explain what that "additional provenance information" might be meant to convey or represent. A sample line from a randomly chosen dump file -- <http://downloads.dbpedia.org/preview.php?file=3.7_sl_en_sl_instance_types_en.nq.bz2> -- reads as follows (broken across successive lines for email) -- <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Academy_Award_for_Best_Art_Direction> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Art_Direction#absolute-line=1> . This appears to suggest that the { ?s ?p ?o } triplet was extracted from the resource at the URI in the ?c position -- but the fragment identifier breaks that suggestion, as the above triple simply doesn't come from line 1 of either the Wikipedia markup source -- {{Infobox award -- or the HTML representation -- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> -- of the named resource -- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Art_Direction> Any insight would be helpful. Regards, Ted -- A: Yes. http://www.guckes.net/faq/attribution.html | Q: Are you sure? | | A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. | | | Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
