Hi,
+1 for a wiki/FAQ describing the Wikipedia ecosystem and the relationships between
Wikidata and the other semantic projects around Wikipedia. This is a legitimate question
for the general public and the press. And it's also probably useful for many persons
in this field, as illustrated in this thread.
We could start with a general overview of Wikipedia and its "semantic"
ecosystem, as proposed by Kingsley.
Then we could have a summary of each project, with a highlight of its key difference with
Wikipedia, Wikidata and other projects.
And we could finish with a table summarizing the goal and difference of each project, with
links to project pages
Or is it too verbose? (in which case we might just want the introduction and the final
table...)
-Nicolas.

Shall we create a Wikidata vs {Freebase, DBpedia,
YAGO} comparison table
on meta (or enwiki)? There's a lot of valuable information in this thread
(and I was not familiar with YAGO – thanks Fabian) but it's hardly readable.
We would do a huge favor to the press and the non-technical community if we
had a single place where the differences are documented. Currently, there's
only one page about the relation between Wikidata and DBpedia. [1]
Lydia, any thoughts?
Not a "versus" style table. That sends the wrong
signals when these services
are fundamentally complimentary .
Yes. I'd prefer a short text - something we
can add to the existing
FAQ. (That's also what I have so far.)
Cheers
Lydia
How about fleshing this out?
[WikiData] -- (ProducingbetterRefStructuredDataFor) --> [Wikipedia] [Rest of the Web]
.
[Freebase] -- (consumingContentFrom) --> [Wikipedia].
[DBpedia] -- (consumingContentFrom) --> [Wikipedia].
[DBpedia] -- (crossReferences) --> [Freebase] .
[Freebase] -- (crossReferences) --> [DBpedia] .
[DBpedia] -- (crossReferences) --> [YAGO] .
[YAGO] -- (crossReferences) --> [DBpedia] .
[WikiData] -- (leverages) --> [All of the Above] .
