Hi,

I wonder about the limit of triples when accessing DBpedia URIs:

   $ rapper -c "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Netherlands"
   rapper: Parsing URI http://dbpedia.org/resource/Netherlands with 
parser rdfxml
   rapper: Parsing returned 2001 triples

When I access that URI by browser I receive the complete data, this 
means that machines are underprivileged
whereas they are the ones that are capable of processing the amount of 
data instead of human users.

Wouldn't it be nice to:
  1) whenever such a limit is applied to return a triple that states 
that a limit has been applied,
      then the machine knows that it does not know everything there is 
to know and
  2) to include triples based on their expected relevance? For example 
the rdfs:label is generally of interest.

Best regards,
Basil Ell
