DBPedia missing some English abstracts and comments

I'm aware that DBpedia had a new release last week. It appears as if that release is missing some English abstract and comment fields.

For example, last week I was able to get the abstract for George Washington, now there are eight abstracts but none are in English.

sparql query:

  SELECT ?abstract
  WHERE { 
    <http://dbpedia.org/resource/George_Washington> dbo:abstract ?abstract .
    FILTER langMatches( lang(?abstract), "en" )
  }

sparql results

Perhaps that data moved somewhere else? Any ideas on how to get that data now?

Solution

  • Abstracts for the most affected languages have been re-extracted, hot-fixed and replaced on the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint.
