Maybe this is too much a spin-off, but in the past week I got this question:

Why is there a DBpedia and Wikidata? (not negative intended, but asked from interest about the origin of both)
Will the data from DBpedia be added to Wikidata?

Maybe I am thinking too simplistic, but the data from Freebase was migrated to Wikidata, as well as that data from Wikipedia articles have been added to Wikidata by bots. I hope the data from DBpedia can be added as well?

I ask this because I read in the article that Wikidata is far from complete concerning these battles, and I think it would be great if we can have a larger coverage on this topic.

The adoption of Wikidata by companies is great. Is there perhaps already a page on Wikidata somewhere where this kind of great external usage examples are collected?

Glad to see an effort that integrates data from both databases!

(and to make it clear, it is unclear whether this is an error due to
DBpedia or due to the companies extraction framework, I was not diving into
the data)
