Extracting Blank Nodes instead of IRIs

[Bianca Pereira <bi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

  I started to use any23 recently and I had one issue extracting the
information from one website (IMDB.com).

 I want to extract triples from the webpages and I faced the following
problem:

Even when there is an IRI that could be used as the identifier for a
concept it is not used and the blank node is used instead. In the following
example the actor Marco Nanini is represented by a blank node (
*_:nodec984d7c9ee5436ea92571ccd94b946*) even when he has an IRI that could
be used as the identifier (*file:/name/nm0620847/?ref_=tt_cl_t1*). After,
the blank node identification is used to link it with a Movie, which is
also identified by a blank node.

It seems that in this specific case I could use the content from the
property */Person/url* as the unique identifier (*IRI*) for the entity. I
suppose it is not a problem of the extractor but on how the page was
created. But as many people are using schema.org I was wondering if there
is any solution for this case. I would be very glad if someone has any idea
of a solution.
