I kind of disagree with you here. I regard and use DBpedia as a source of machine-readable linked data first. Because of its nature as derivative project extracting Wikipedia data, it is endangered by a potential future in which the Wikipedia crowd maintains their own machine-readable linked data to feed (among others) info boxes the DBpedia seeks to extract.
Martin,
DBpedia isn't *endangered*. Publishing content to a global HTTP based Network such as the World Wide Web isn't a "zero sum" affair.
DBpedia's prime goal is to contribute to the Linked Open Data collective within the World Wide Web.
To date, DBpedia has over achieved as the core that bootstrapped the Linked Open Data Cloud.
Wikidata, Freebase, etc.. are complimentary initiatives. There gains or loses are not in any way affected by DBpedia.
The Web is designed on a "horses for courses" doctrine. We can indeed all get along, and be successful, without anyone having to lose out :)
