Hoi,
The main point I get is that DBpedia is used and usable

If anything all the rest are things where Wikidata has its problems in equal measure. As I read it, Wikidata has a bigger community with some people doing a lot of muddling with the most wonderful subclasses and hierarchy that are often unknown by others and happily ignored.Come to think of it, When the data quality is compared, I doubt Wikidata will be so great because there is so much just not there..
Thanks,
     GerardM

Hi all,

Vladimir Alexiev has published an interesting post on issues he encountered when using DBpedia at OntoText, drawing many comparisons to Wikidata [1]. While this post praises the practices of Wikidata in several places, I think there are a few important insights for Wikidata there as well. There are certainly points where Wikidata is running into similar issues (if you have had a look at our class hierarchy recently, you know what I mean). Even in the cases where we are doing good, it might be valuable to obtain some feedback and reconfirmation from another perspective.

Cheers,

Markus
