Following your invitation I'm opening an other issue...

To summarize: I'm actually using Google refine 2.5, Windows 7 and Google chrome as browser.

As first I'd like to know if is possible to add a new column using DBpedia like is already possible to do with Freebase, for example if I want to add a column with the population of the countries in my excel sheet retrieving it from the DBpedia ontology what I have to do? I tried to use "Add column by fetching URLs" using the properties available for the specific concept in the DBpedia ontology but I have no idea how to do that.

An other question is about the reconciliation refinement: when I want to match a concept in a cell that is unresolved and there is a mismatch with the name (ex: "Bahamas, The" in the excel sheet and the resource in dbpedia is "http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Bahamas") when I select "search for match" and I type just Bahamas to get the suggestion the resource from dbpedia is not available and this is quite wired because I did the reconciliation against it!
Thanks!
