Currently, no. (Of course they will reflect the latest changes every few months in case of a release.) > Presumably at this point the separate live.dbpedia > SPARQL endpoint would become redundant? No, the endpoints will run in parallel (for now at least). Some explanation: There are two extraction modes of DBpedia: * dump based (http://dumps.wikimedia.org/) * live (via update stream) The dump based extraction is performed in many (>90) languages. It generates all the files at http://downloads.dbpedia.org and some of them are loaded in the official endpoint (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/DatasetsLoaded) - mostly files extracted from the English Wikipedia, but also labels and abstracts in different languages. The live version of DBpedia currently works on the English Wikipedia edition and does not generate dumps. Currently, we plan to run both in parallel, so the live version does not supersede the static dump based extraction. Of course, anything we are doing is open for discussion and we welcome suggestions. I'll post other replies on the DBpedia mailing list to avoid too much cross mailing list traffic.
