Hi Max,I've sent the email attached below several days ago to the mailing list,
but got now answer yet. I know that all of you are doing the job voluntarily
and have other things to do, but it is really demotivating, if you want to
contribute, but cannot. Is there a chance to get editor permissions any time
soon?RegardsRené

Subject: Editor rights for dbpedia mappings
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:29:37 +0200
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
