Hoi,
I was asked by one of the DBpedia people to write a project plan.. I gave
it a try [1].
The idea is to first compare DBpedia with Wikidata where a comparison is
possible. When it is not (differences in their classes for instance) it is
at first not what we focus on.
Please comment on the talk page and when there are things missing in the
plan, please help it improve.
Thanks,
GerardM
