Hi Markus,
Is ?statement :P31v :Q3624078 .
FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?statement :P582q ?endDate }
really enough to filter off currently non-existing countries?
Because I have such code in my Python bot:
http://paste.debian.net/162319/
And even with so many filters, there is a bit strange "Kingdom of
Netherlands" which duplicates "Netherlands" but having only few cities.
