DBpediaSpotlight host and port no longer valid

[estefaniaotero]

DBpediaSpotlight configuation is no longer valid in SpotlightAnnotator.java class, host "spotlight.dbpedia.org" and port 80 are not working right now. You can use host = "spotlight.sztaki.hu" and port=2222.

Thanks for bringing this up. Before embedding the new URL into the next version of the BAT-Framework, do you have any information on the stability of the service at sztaki.hu? Is it going to be maintained for a decently long time?

Note that, even before a new release of the BAT-Framework, you can use the new address by constructing the annotator as:
SpotlightAnnotator ann = new SpotlightAnnotator(DisambiguationPolicy.Default, new DBPediaApi(), wikiApi, "spotlight.sztaki.hu", 2222);

Thanks, cheers.

I honestly have no idea of service stability at sztaki.hu. I was looking for another endpoint to execute experiments on DBpedia Spotlight and I find it. Gerbil is using the same endpoint for the service as well.
And, yes, I was using personalized constructor to change address, but I wanted to inform about the unavailable service :-)

Cheers

That seems to be the endpoint suggested by the official page of the project. I have included it in release candidate 1.3.2.rc1, which will be available through the Maven Central Repository in, say, a few hours :)
Thanks again.
