Hi, I think there's a slight inconsistency in some FOAF triples published by DBpedia. For example, see these triples from http://downloads.dbpedia.org/preview.php?file=3.7_sl_en_sl_wikipedia_links_en.nq.bz2 : <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/primaryTopic> <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Anarchism> . <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Anarchism> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/page> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism> . DBpedia basically uses foaf:primaryTopic and foaf:page as inverse properties, but the foaf spec says: foaf:page -> http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_page The page property relates a thing to a document about that thing. As such it is an inverse of the topic property, which relates a document to a thing that the document is about. foaf:primaryTopic -> http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_primaryTopic The primaryTopic property relates a document to the main thing that the document is about. It is an inverse of the isPrimaryTopicOf property, which relates a thing to a document primarily about that thing. I think DBpedia should use either - foaf:primaryTopic and foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf or - foaf:page and foaf:topic What do you think? Cheers, Christopher
