Hi Ettore,
we just released a very early prototype of the new DBpedia:
http://88.99.242.78/hdt/en_wiki_de_sv_nl_fr-replaced.nt.bz2
I attached the first 1000 triples. The data is a merge of
Wikidata + 5 DBpedias from the 5 largest Wikipedia versions.
Overall, there are many issues, but we have a test-driven data
engineering process combined with Scrum and biweekly releases,
next one is on March 15th. The new IDs are also stable by design.
We discussed how to effectively reuse all technologies we have
for Wikidata and also Wikipedia and are applying with this project
at the moment:

Dear all,
I asked myself a series of questions about the links between Wikidata and other knowledge/data bases, namely those of OCLC and DBpedia. For example:
- Why Wikidata has no property "Worldcat Identities" while the English edition of Wikipedia systematically mentions this identity (when it exists) in its section "Autorithy control" ?
- Why do VIAF links to all editions of Wikipedia, but not (simply) to Wikidata ?
- Why is there no link to DBpedia when the opposite is true ?
These questions may seem very different from each other, but they ultimately concern a common subject and are all very basic. I suspect they had to be discussed somewhere, maybe at the dawn of Wikidata. However, I find nothing in the archives of this Newsletter, nor in the discussions on Wikidata.
Could someone point me to some documentation on these issues ?
Cheers,
Ettore Rizza
