All,

Following the nascent thread (from posts over the weekend) about meaning and disambiguation, here is an example of how Linked Data, SPARQL, and the Wiktionary dataset enable a human or machine seek insight into the meaning of 'House' :

1. http://bit.ly/1cgVAuJ  -- results piped through two SPARQL endpoints using SPARQL-FED (the one I used displays the URIs in the query results as live links)
2. http://bit.ly/14dTiMl -- ditto but using the default endpoint  .

I'm not quite sure exactly what is going on in this query pair. More specifically, I'm not sure what content is being sponged for context by the uriburner (or even if their is sponging going on ([...]&should-sponge=&[...].

There is no sponging (data format transformation) taking place. I used SPARQL-FED via the URIBurner instance because its running a later version of Virtuoso i.e., one that makes the URIs in results live links. Basically, live links in the SPARQL results page turn the page in into a Linked Data browser via follow-your-nose pattern.

The selected value for "meaning" is the same for every entry: "A children's game in which the players pretend to be members of a household." (this is the last sense listed in on the wiktionary page).

This text does not match the hasMeaning value for the URI listed in "sense".

I see your point, this looks like a bug in the SPARQL-FED layer associated with the URIBurner instance :-(  The original source query is producing the correct results.

In answer to your question: it's a spirtual thing, a body thing, a soul thing. See e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WpERMtL-AY
