Hello everybody,
I was having a look at DBpedia data about cities as for example the area
total property. I would like to know how do you deal with different decimal
separators and grouping separators between countries. For example I found
that in http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Rufino the area total is 282,569
km² and I think the "," is a decimal separator according to the Brazilian
convention [1] . However in the DBpedia dataset I found the following
value: 2.82569E11. My guess is that separator is being used as grouping
separator as it is the convention in United Kingdom [2] for example.
I would be very thankful if you can enlighten me.
Cheers,
María
