Hi Nicolas,
>From Wikipedia wiki source, the part where you press edit on top of the page
| latd =37 |latm =48 |lats =49
| longd =144 |longm =57 |longs =47
The correct entry in Wikipedia should be
| latd =-37 |latm =48 |lats =49
| longd =144 |longm =57 |longs =47
This is an error in Wikipedia not in DBpedia, you can correct it by
editing the source of the Melbourne Wiki page.
Cheers,
Alexandru
