Hi Paul,
Great work. Content-type specialized linked data is very, very cool.
I've been testing linking into your data a bit these past few days and
am hoping your call for feedback below has not expired!
Please forgive me if I've misunderstood intended use of your
mapping/work and I realize some of these issues might also be due to
your upstream sources, eg. dbpedia/freebase.
Here are some things I've tried / come across so far:
1) Wikipedia redirect links (owl:sameAs) don't seem to be
followed/dereferenced/smushed:
http://api.ookaboo.com/api1/lookup_picture?api_key=[KEY]&query_uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts
broken
http://api.ookaboo.com/api1/lookup_picture?api_key=[KEY]&query_uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston
works
2) Several "common" places are missing data:
http://api.ookaboo.com/api1/lookup_picture?api_key=[KEY]&query_uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malden,_Massachusetts
http://api.ookaboo.com/api1/lookup_picture?api_key=[KEY]&query_uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Myers,_Florida
I'm not sure this next stuff is really necessary if the above gets
solid, however, I'll include these ideas here too:
3) (obligatory) SPARQL endpoint!!!
4) search using <http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#{lat,long}>
(results by distance)
5) follow sameas.org links
6) link from sws.geonames.org/ID
Best wishes and thanks for this excellent contribution!
