Thanks. I'd seen that. I was hoping for something more along the lines of an email address or a person's name. The entries in question are: "Links to Freebase - Links between DBpedia and Freebase. Update mechanism: unclear/copy over from previous release. "Links to Geonames - Links between geographic places in DBpedia and data about them in the Geonames database. Provided by the Geonames people. Update mechanism: unclear/copy over from previous release." > Please note that within the last year the extraction framework was > rewritten and the live extraction was implemented.

I'm willing to help out with that, but it would seem like the people who did the original mappings are likely to have knowledge, and perhaps even code, from their previous efforts which would be highly applicable to the task. Is all that knowledge really lost forever?
