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

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.

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
