Hi Andreas,

we for sure want to do this, but also did not want to postpone the DBpedia
3.2 release any further.

So be ensured that the upcoming public user interface for defining the
infobox-to-ontology mappings will include the possibility to reuse existing
classes and properties and that external classes and properties will be used
within the 3.3 release.

Defining the infobox-to-ontology mappings that we currently have was already
a lot of work (Anja thanks again), so please be patient with the
mappings/reuse of external ontologies.

Cheers

Chris
Andreas,

Apropos Chris' comments above, it's coming.

DBpedia ontology to UMBEL ontology mapping is one of a number of mappings that will emerge in due course. That said -- by the very nature of this project and RDF based Linked Data in general -- anyone with a vested interest in the ontology mapping efforts can step in and accelerate matters. Thus, I encourage others to participate bearing in mind DBpedia 3.2's increased compatibility with such endeavors.

Hi Chris,

1. DBpedia Ontology

DBpedia now features a shallow, cross-domain ontology, which has been
manually created based on the most commonly used infoboxes within
Wikipedia
great work!

One thing: what's the reason for creating your own classes rather
than re-using or sub-classing existing ones (foaf:Person,
geonames:Feature...)?  Same for properties (foaf:name, dc:date...).

Regards,
Andreas.
