Automate data collection from the EU

http://publicbodies.org/eu/dg-infso

But DG-INFSO has been replaced with DG-CONNECT (DG-CNNECT) since Jul 2012: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/whats-name-dg-connect-replaces-dg-infso. You don't have CONNECT in http://publicbodies.org/eu/

  1. Forgive me for saying it, but if your EU list is 5 years obsolete, this compromises the whole idea of using http://publicbodies.org/eu/ URLs, or even http://publicbodies.org/ URLs as a whole! Wikipedia (and consequently DBpedia) are much more up to date: consider that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DG_INFSO redirects to a correct URL, and that happened in March 2011!! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DG_INFSO&action=history
  2. Public bodies are often reorganized. What is your policy on reorganizations? Eg will http://publicbodies.org/eu/dg-infso redirect to http://publicbodies.org/eu/dg-connect? Will there be a parameter to see history before the reorg (similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DG_INFSO&redirect=no)?
  3. Continuing the topic of redirects, do you plan to have more aliases? Eg at http://dbpedia.org/page/Directorate_General_for_Communications_Networks,_Content_and_Technology "is dbo:wikiPageRedirects of" you can see 7 aliases, including DG-INFSO and DG-CONNECT.

Since now we have automated data collection scheduled with Github Actions (PR #105), I've renamed this issue so that the automation of data collection from the EU can go from here.
