Thanks, that's a step forward. Now the question is how to bring this all
together.
The context that interests me the most is translating an article in
ContentTranslation. Let's go with an architect.[1] I am translating an
article about an architect from English to Dutch, and it has {{Infobox
architect}} at the top. How would ContentTranslation, a MediaWiki extension
installed on the Wikimedia cluster, know that the "name" parameter is
"naam" in Dutch?
Currently, in theory, it would:
1. Find that there's a corresponding infobox in Dutch using the
interlanguage link: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjabloon:Infobox_architect
2. Go to dbpedia and find the English template:
http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_en:Infobox_architect
3. Find that name is foaf:name
4. Go to dbpedia and find the Dutch template:
http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_nl:Infobox_architect
5. Find that foaf:name is naam
... And then repeat steps 1 to 5 for each parameter.
Is this something that is possible to query now? (I'm not even talking
about performance.)
Even if it is possible to query it, is it good to be dependent on an
external website for this? Maybe it makes sense to import the data from
dbpedia to Wikidata? It's absolutely not a rhetorical question - maybe it
is OK to use dbpedia.
[1] {{Infobox cricketer}} exists in the Dutch Wikipedia, but doesn' appear
in the Dutch mappings in dbpedia.
