Hi Andreas, we for sure want to do this, but also did not want to postpone the DBpedia 3.2 release any further.
So be ensured that the upcoming public user interface for defining the infobox-to-ontology mappings will include the possibility to reuse existing classes and properties and that external classes and properties will be used within the 3.3 release. Defining the infobox-to-ontology mappings that we currently have was already a lot of work (Anja thanks again), so please be patient with the mappings/reuse of external ontologies.
