Maybe this is too much a spin-off, but in the past week I got this question:
Why is there a DBpedia and Wikidata? (not negative intended, but asked from interest about the origin of both) Will the data from DBpedia be added to Wikidata? Maybe I am thinking too simplistic, but the data from Freebase was migrated to Wikidata, as well as that data from Wikipedia articles have been added to Wikidata by bots. I hope the data from DBpedia can be added as well? I ask this because I read in the article that Wikidata is far from complete concerning these battles, and I think it would be great if we can have a larger coverage on this topic. The adoption of Wikidata by companies is great. Is there perhaps already a page on Wikidata somewhere where this kind of great external usage examples are collected?
