please revise and adjust your edits to the DBpedia ontology:
make sure that
class identifiers (the class URI which is derived from the wikipage URL / name http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/OntologyClass:) are in English starting with a capital letter and using camel case (so no arabic or other national characters - ASCII only)
@iRsaiLyAs1214@mukarram123786@jahanzaib123 How is the progress here so far? We got already remarks from other editors that find it confusing and harder to work with the ontology now. Please take action soon, or we need to write a script which removes all classes and properties having non ASCII identifiers, which will forcefully delete a big amount of your changes.
@fati88 just realized that you created even more classes in the last days. please read this here very carefully, take action to correct your changes and communicate to it to your colleagues so that this does not happen again. If this keeps happening, at some point the only option seems that we need to revoke editing rights of some of your accounts.
No answer ? Can you please make UR users (if possible) sensible to the problem refering also to this post where @jfrey details the steps of cleaning redundant work. It would much help the community. Thanks.
Hi @anamt761,
nice to see that there seems to be some activities.
The process is usually that you as a chapter / language community set up a SPARQL endpoint based on your own Databus collection (you can create a fork for it, see the forum and this and then use the virtoso quickstart to load them) containing the files you would like to serve via SPARQL (so probably urdu) .
Then we would point the DNS to domain or server of the (urdu) community that host the SPARQL endpoint.
HOWEVER, pointing this official DBpedia DNS to a service where the urdu community hast the responsibility and control over requires some trust into that local community or chapter. At the moment some local communities and the DBpedia lab in Leipzig are very disappointed in the way the urdu community messed up the ontology and did not take action to fix it so far.
So in order to rebuilt this trust the urdu community should tackle these more important issues first (as mentioned here already).
Then we can proceed.
Hey! @jfrey As you mentioned in your comment, there was a mess created with DBpedia ontologies from the Urdu community, would you like to tell me about this wrongdoing with ontologies I have no idea because I didn’t do it. if sorted the issue then also tell me this.
please mention so I’ recover it soon.
I am sorry, but I can not help here anymore at the moment. I switched research groups and for the next 7-8 months I unfortunately do not have spare resources to tackle things related to DBpedia, esp. such messy and unclear (w.r.t to people being unreliable) things like this.
Somebody else from the community needs to take over. Maybe also @christianwia or @cringwald can give you some beginner tips in case you still have questions w.r.t. to the instructions how to fix the urdu mess. Before the ontology and the mappings are fixed I doubt that somebody is willing to invest energy and time into helping with more advanced stuff like mapping statistics and SPARQL endpoints.
Please also note that you definitely created classes with arabic letters in the identifier and therefore contributed to this mess
Please note that kurzum gave you admin rights in the mappings wiki so you can delete and grant editor rights to users. You don’t have to fix all the Urdu mess by yourself, just it clearly needs a coordinator.
In case there is still confusion what one of the goal is, I put it in simple words:
There should not occur any arabic (i.e. any non-English) letter in here Ontology Classes
A good idea for you could be to align the existing class with the Urdu messy one to use that work for filling label and comment to the existing class before to delete all of that.
This messy work was really impactful for the DBpedia community, and each chapter had to argue why DBpedia is useful. A decision maker, or any person who want to invest DBpedia, that give a look into the class hierarchy directly discredit the initiative. If you are able to correct it, it would be a really appreciated contribution @anamt761 !
