Errors in RDF Data

[Peter_Zaitsev]

I'm wondering where I should report errors in the downloadable RDF data. I can see a lot of logical consistence errors wile parsing it.

 

Here is example:

 

<Topic r:id="Top/Arts/Animation/Artists/Directors/Freleng,_Friz">

<catid>78966</catid>

<d:Title>Freleng,_Friz</d:Title>

<related

r:resource="Top/Arts/Animation/Studios/Warner_Bros/Looney_Tunes/Characters/Tweety"/>

<related

r:resource="Top/Arts/Animation/Studios/Warner_Bros/Looney_Tunes/Characters/Yosemite_Sam"/>

<related

r:resource="Top/Arts/Animation/Cartoons/Titles/P/Pink_Panther,_The"/>

<related r:resource="Top/Arts/Animation/Studios/DePatie-Freleng"/>

</Topic>

 

As you see it links to "Warner_Bros" directory.

 

There is however no such directory in the directories definitions,

Directory is defined as "Warner_Bros.":

This, as well as many other issues could be fixed manually, but I'm wondering why it happens on the first place ? Might be original information should be checked and corrected ?

That is a known problem, resulting from renamed categories. When a category is renamed, the "old" category name is replaced by a redirect to the "new" one. So in theory the old names stay valid. AFAIK the file http://rdf.dmoz.org/rdf/redirect.rdf.u8.gz should help you - it lists all redirects that are in place. At the moment I can't check if the one you have spotted is in there due to this computers limitations.
