The ontology is maintained by a community that everyone can join at http://mappings.dbpedia.org/ . An overview of the current class hierarchy is here: http://mappings.dbpedia.org/server/ontology/classes/ . You're more than welcome to help! I think talk pages are not used enough on the mappings wiki, so if you have ideas, misgivings or questions about the DBpedia ontology, the place to go is probably the mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion
Do you maintain several "ontologies" in parallel? Otherwise, how do you plane to avoid a "cultural bias", and how do you think it may impact the other projects? I mean, if you try to establish "one semantic hierarchy to rule them all", couldn't it arise cultural diversity concerns?
We maintain only one version of the ontology. We have a pretty diverse community, so I hope the editors will take care of that. So far, the ontology does have a Western bias though, more or less like the English Wikipedia or the current list of Wikidata properties.
