@Sebastian: Il would be great! I'll follow this

as I'm already following your papers
<https://content.iospress.com/articles/semantic-web/sw277>. And it is
precisely because I know that there is a desire for "rapprochement" on
both sides that I asked why there is absolutely nothing in Wikidata
that links to DBpedia (or Yago), whereas DBpedia contains a lot of
owl: sameAs to Wikidata. All this must have been discussed somewhere I
suppose. Still, I do not even find a property proposal for "DBpedia
link".
Thanks, Ali (who volunteered to do biweekly Wikidata-DBpedia
extractions) and Dimitris should get most of the credit for the paper.
We as DBpedia would really like to contribute more to Wikidata, but all
developers are busy with coding DBpedia improvements and the community
is more concerned with their own interests and we didn't find a
volunteer who committed to focusing on closing the gaps between the
projects (it is quite a lot of work, but worth it). Hence the
application for the developer in GlobalFactSync[1] as we really need
someone to focus on porting technologies to Wikimedia and transition the
core data from Wikipedia to Wikidata via DBpedia as a transparent layer.
