Hoi,
With the "main type (GND)" we were imposing a classification that was
developed by the Deutsche National Bibliothek. It may work for them as they
have a specific application for their data but it does not necessarily work
elsewhere.
In my blogpost I refer to the "infoboxes task force". Information that
exists in many infoboxes cannot be expressed in Wikidata. DBpedia has
collected data from Wikipedias (more than hundred languages). It will
follow that they have worked hard on a system that brings all the data
together in a working set of properties.
I am convinced that there will be issues with what they currently have. But
unlike with the GND classification we can move away from it by making it
our own. (it would no longer be the GND classification)
Thanks,
GerardM
