Hello Peter,

thank you very much for your inputs. The state of the DBpedia ontology is 
certainly an issue.
You can register at [1], ask for editing rights, and go on and make your 
changes. I'd also feel not quite well performing major changes or removing 
classes without some discussion, since it is the effort of others and it is not 
always clear, if somebody actually uses it.

Maybe, we could organize an ontology enhancement and guidelines workshop at the 
next DBpedia Community Meeting in Leipzig [2].

How about the following procedure:

[1] Triples relating to fixes and new relations are first created in an RDF document that 's WWW accessible
[2] The documents are announced here as an "invite to examine" request etc..
[3] If acceptable, the Triples are added to the project
[4] If unacceptable, for any reason, then in the very worst case (re. deadlocks) the Triples end up where they are on in a specific named graph in the Virtuoso instance .

The real beauty of AWWW, as exemplified by Linked Data, is the ability to "agree to disagree" without creating inertia. Virtuoso can handle many Linked Data scenarios, and "agreeing to disagree" lies at the core of its design (like AWWW).

Peter: we would all gladly welcome your input and contributions. The steps above will make this smooth and ultimately enlightening :-)
