Along these lines, there are some questionable mappings in DBpedia. One in particular, is for the building infobox, which is overused in English Wikipedia. In particular, the Eiffel Tower Wikipedia entry uses this infobox even though the Eiffel Tower is the most prominent non-building on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonbuilding_structure
I think that a better mapping is needed here. I'm seriously considering upgrading the mapping, even though it could end up being one of the more complex mappings, but if someone else is interested, please feel free to go ahead. peter On 05/26/2014 01:14 AM, Volha Bryl wrote: > Dear DBpedians, > > > we are happy to announce that Volha Bryl and Daniel Fleischhacker from the > University of Mannheim are starting to work on the DBpedia Release 3.10. > > As with the previous releases, it is planned that all extractors for all > languages will be run.
