It's not about the actual content, but rather about the data model.

If you haven't already, it might be worth looking at the Freebase schema
for Wordnet, especially how it connects synsets to Freebase topics:

WordNet does not seem to be under a free license -- see

http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/license/

Since Wikidata's CC0 licensing allows commercial use, surely integrating any kind of data from WordNet risks conflict with WordNet's license?

Hello,

I would like all interested in the interaction of Wikidata and Wiktionary
to take a look at the following proposal. It is trying to serve all use
cases mentioned so far, and remain still fairly simple to implement.

<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary>

To the best of our knowledge, we have checked all discussions on this
topic, and also related work like OmegaWiki, Wordnet, etc., and are
building on top of that.

I would extremely appreciate if some liaison editors could reach out to
the Wiktionaries in order to get a wider discussion base. We are currently
reading more on related work and trying to improve the proposal.

It would be great if we could keep the discussion on the discussion page
on the wiki, so to bundle it a bit. Or at least have pointers there.

<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wiktionary>

Note that we are giving this proposal early. Implementation has not
started yet (obviously, otherwise the discussion would be a bit moot), and
this is more a mid-term commitment (i.e. if the discussion goes smoothly,
it might be implemented and deployed by the end of the year or so, although
this depends on the results of the discussion obviously).

Cheers,
Denny
