Dear dbpedia authors,I'm a full time professor at the University of applied 
sciences in Hof, Germany. As part of my research on unified information access, 
I'd like to add an ontology class "SnookerPlayer" as a subclass of Athlete and 
also add an Infobox mapping for the English Wikipedia. It's only a small number 
of individuals in the according categories, but I'd like to get an 
understanding of how it works. From my perspective, the best thing is to 
contribute in order to understand it from inside out.Since there is currently 
the snooker world championship taking place, I thought I'd start with the 
category http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Top_16_snooker_players and then 
maybe extend it to cover other subcategories of 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Snooker_playersBy the way: by using the 
neofonie browser http://dbpedia.neofonie.de/browse/ and gFacet 
http://www.visualdataweb.org/gfacet/gfacet.php, I found out, that some classes 
are not really intuitive and from seeing the Wikipedia categories I start to 
understand the reasons behind. Is there a way to map different Wikipedia 
categories to the same dbpedia ontology? I don't think it is a good idea to mix 
subclasses and properties, since in my case the categories (e.g. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Welsh_snooker_players) already include 
what should be modeled as a property called "Sport country" in the 
infobox.Thanks in advanceRené
