Hi all,
The Wikidata <-> DBpedia mapping effort started last year with a manual effort lead by Hady El Hasar. See [1] for a full list of existing mappings. This year, Marco is supervising a GSoC student to generate mappings automatically, that gdoc is their current progress.
@Daniel, I remember you already had the mappings wiki in mind 2 years ago when you presented Wikidata in the MLODE 2012 / DBpedia roadmap session But it was too early for Wikidata back then, maybe now is the time to look closer at this.
We have our 2nd DBpedia Community meeting in Leipzig in 2 weeks http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Leipzig2014
We'd be glad to have Wikidata devs and community members around and discuss similar ideas.
btw, Wikidata was present in our 1st community meeting in Amsterdam with Gerard Meijssen http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Amsterdam2014?v=bej#h355-10
Cheers, DImitris

Hi everyone,
The following spreadsheet contains the latest DBpedia <-> Wikidata mapping effort both for properties and classes (cf. the 2 sheets) made by the GSoC student so far.

Since I am his main mentor, feel free to ask me further details. Hope this helps!
Cheers,

I think it would be cool to use http://mappings.dbpedia.org/ - it already has mappings for hundreds of templates in different language versions to the dbpedia vocabulary. If we added a mapping for wikidata <-> dbpedia, it should be easy enough to derive a mapping between a wikipedia template and wikidata. Actually, I was under the impression the wikidata <-> dbpedia already existed, but I don't see it on the site right now. Adding Anja Jentzsch, she might know. Even if it proves too tricky to map individual template parameters this way, it should still be possible to at least detect the class (instanceof) of an item based on the templates the respective wikipedia page contains. Weshould definitely map dpedia classes to wikidata items.
Sergey Skovorodkin is working on a dbpedia<->wikidata mapping as a GsoC for DBpedia this year https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/wiki/ GSoC-2014-Progress-Sergey-Skovorodkin
I'm CCing him to see if he can report the status or if he might need help with our properties, maybe we are missing some or need to clarify some others. Sometimes we are using qualifiers to extend properties instead of creating new ones.
Cheers, Micru
