RE: 'Gene WIki' announced

Hi Kei,

What I find odd is that the page http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum, has a property ispartof, but on the query page (http://dbpedia.org/snorql/) if I run:

SELECT ?brainregion WHERE {
  ?brainregion dbpedia2:ispartof
    <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:Cerebrum>
}

// NOTE: PREFIX dbpedia2: <http://dbpedia.org/property/> is already defined //

I don’t get any parts (only the query you sent, using the skos:subject gets the parts). Having to query the skos:subject property to get parts is a bit non-intuitive, esp when a ispartof property exists.

-Nigam.
