Hi,

I have finally got around to starting to decommission dbpedialite.org
Pages now redirect to Wikidata entity URIs.

I won't be renewing the domain name when it expires 2019-05-09.

Hi,
A number of years ago I was having some very frustrating times with the identifier instability in dbpedia. Two people looking up an identifier for the same concept at different times ended up with different identifiers.

So I created a proof of concept, dbpedialite, which uses Wikipedia PageIDs:
http://www.dbpedialite.org/things/87851
(At the time there was a page title edit war between Stoat and Ermine)


But now we have Wikidata – which solves this problem much better – so I should really get on and decommission dbpedialite.

What are you using Wikipedia Page IDs for?  Might it be better to store the Wikidata ID and then lookup the Wikipedia page on demand?
