Il would be great! I'll follow this project closely, just as I'm
already following your papers. 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.
