Not a "versus" style table. That sends the wrong signals when these services are fundamentally complimentary .Shall we create a Wikidata vs {Freebase, DBpedia, YAGO} comparison table on meta (or enwiki)? There's a lot of valuable information in this thread (and I was not familiar with YAGO – thanks Fabian) but it's hardly readable. We would do a huge favor to the press and the non-technical community if we had a single place where the differences are documented. Currently, there's only one page about the relation between Wikidata and DBpedia. [1]Lydia, any thoughts?

It wasn't just a one time bootstrap.but I think its main selling point is that volunteers can add and correct data. Thus, my understanding is that, both in Wikidata and in Freebase, volunteers would fill up structured, factual information. Is that right?I outlined most of the major differences that come to mind. I don't think there's any one particular "selling point" and, in particular, the Freebase team has never really attempted to do much in the way of "selling" at all. I don't really think that there's any overlap or competition between the two projects. If Wikidata is successful, Freebase rips out their infoboxes parsers and gets cleaner Wikipedia data to import with less effort.My intuition is that Wikidata will have a more principled approach, because it can build on the Wikipedia/Wikimedia culture.To the extent that the Wikidata project is unsuccessful in changing the current Wikipedia culture, they'll inherit both the good and bad points of the existing culture. Personally, I could do with a few less "deletionists" and petty tyrants ruling "their" corner of Wikipedia.
