Re: [Dbpedia-discussion] DBPedia: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Marcos_Escobedo

Hi, this is one example of the limits in producing an ontology without considering the full range of data that it has to provide a schema for.
See e.g. [1] for an approach of deriving "ontology patterns" from data, in order to optimize the semantics of the ontology.

In DBpedia, one may want to establish one or more thresholds (even contextual or dynamic) for including alternative types in the domain/range of properties.

Vishal's example spots the optimism of mapping dbpprop:allegiance directly to dbpedia-owl:country, while dbpprop:allegiance can range on the following types:

http://schema.org/Place 	8797
http://schema.org/Organization 	665
http://schema.org/Person 	182
http://schema.org/Event 	8
http://dbpedia.org/ontology/EthnicGroup 	8

i.e. about 855 out of 9660 (almost 9%) are not places (let alone countries, which are 8336, i.e. 86%). That would make a 14% error rate on the declared range, quite a lot.

The approach described in [1] would lead to a different mapping:

dbpedia-owl:allegiance:
	domain: dbpedia-owl:Agent
	range: dbpedia-owl:Agent owl:union dbpedia-owl:EthnicGroup owl:union dbpedia-owl:Event owl:union dbpedia-owl:Place
