i've a question about the types returned by spotlight.
If i submit the following text: "The United Nations (UN) is based in Geneva.", 
two resources are identified (Geneva and United_Nations), now the DBpedia types returned 
for United_Nations are Organisation and TopicalConcept; but if i query the dbpedia sparql 
endpoint asking for the rdf:type of United_Nations other types are returned 
(Place,Country,PopulatedPlace and Thing), so where do the types returned come from?

The question is, where does the current DBpedia SPARQL end point get
its data from. As you report, the end point says United_Nations is a
Country. But the dump for the DBpedia 3.7 type information contains
United_Nations only as an Organisation:

$ curl -s http://downloads.dbpedia.org/3.7/en/instance_types_en.nt.bz2  \
    | bzcat | grep "/United_Nations> " | cut -d' ' -f3
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Organisation>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing>
<http://schema.org/Organization>

Cheers,
Max

Max,

The endpoint gets its data from the dumps, naturally. Clearly bad data was loaded at some point. Anyway, a new release is imminent.
