My first posting (see above on top) was for me clear, in 3-4 months i  
promise to write here if there is 'for me' a sustainable enhancement or  
not, it is very easy to fix it over time...

Now I notice for example <http://dbpedia.org/property/abstract> must  
suddenly be

<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract>, otherwise no response...

ok, why not, if it is for a better ontology structure, i adapt with my  
client-side stuff and anticipate other unexpected changes.

But i have also other detailed questions for example about  
literals-indexing (i'm not sure whether this is my problem) or simple  
inferences like owl:TransitiveProperty (from Skos in dbpedia, or not?)  
etc...

Is there an appropriate public(!) mailing-list for all who have generally  
interest at similar things and (last not least) 'include the DBpedia  
instance and SPARQL endpoint as being part of what constitutes the DBpedia  
Team or DBpedia Project'?

thanks, baran.
