Hi all,
I would like to take some time to explain how the roadmapping works at
the moment.
In general DBpedia is very underfunded, so we always need to prioritize
a lot. Most of the Roadmapping is done
- in the Community meetings, see the association hour on
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Amsterdam2017 on September the 14th
- during the Board meetings http://wiki.dbpedia.org/board-minutes
- during the dev telco
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZEhOv9Cp2LyBcyFc2J7PncsCu5brov3_qRxKleMtq60/edit#
First Wednesday each month (6.9. is next )
- this mailing list and more tech oriented in https://dbpedia.slack.com/
Here are some priorities which we refactored from
http://blog.dbpedia.org/2017/07/11/results-of-the-dbpedia-strategy-survey-2017/
Disclaimer: There is a lot of space for improvement, however, we always
have to triage between solving the things in current infrastructure and
doing major improvements
- Release times: we are aiming for weekly releases (still a lot of work
todo)
- Data Quality in these areas:
-- Mappings (data)
-- Ontology (see ontology session at the next meeting
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Amsterdam2017 )
-- Links (see https://github.com/dbpedia/links )
-- other data that could help complement DBpedia
Overall, we are designing a data quality framework for DBpedia, which
should also detect missing files in a release.
- usability and access
-- better exploit dataid and metadata
-- better website, easier to find data and services
-- clearer ways to contribute (Data quality framework should guide
users to these contribution points)
All in all, it is very difficult to do the tech development and also
keep the proper communication as both takes more time than the resources
we have.
We hope that this will improve in the future by more funding and also
the business community contributing more back to DBpedia. Becoming a
member helps to a certain extent: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/membership
Also inclusion in proposals or direct cooperation for certain features.
I am sure, that I have forgotten some points in the roadmap...
All the best,
Sebastian

Hi:
Is there a roadmap to the 2016-10 dumps. I'm having trouble finding some of
the stuff that I think should be there (particularly the links to Wikidata).
Or maybe there are files that should have content but don't.
downloads.dbpedia.org/2016-10/core-i18n/wikidata/wikipedia_links_wikidata.ttl.bz2
appears to have no useful content.
