Hi guys,
Not sure I grasped Gerard's message, but I think we could react in the
Wikidata mailing list.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Marco

Subject: [Wikidata] Comparisons between DBpedia and Wikidata

Hoi,
Much of the content of DBpedia and Wikidata have the same origin;
harvesting data from a Wikipedia. There is a lot of discussion going on
about quality and one point that I make is that comparing "Sources" and
concentrating on the differences particularly where statements differ is
where it is easiest to make a quality difference.
So given that DBpedia harvests both Wikipedia and Wikidata, can it
provide us with a view where a Wikipedia statement and a Wikidata
statement differ. To make it useful, it is important to subset this
data. I will not start with 500.000 differences but I will begin when
they are about a subset that I care about.
When I care about entries for alumni of a university, I will consider
curating the information in question. Particularly when I know the
language of the Wikipedia.
When we can do this, another thing that will promote the use of a tool
like this is when regularly (say once a month) numbers are stored and
trends are published.
How difficult is it to come up with something like this. I know this
tool would be based on DBpedia but there are several reasons why this is
good. First it gives added relevance to DBpedia (without detracting from
Wikidata) and secondly as DBpedia updates on RSS changes for several
Wikipedias, the effect of these changes is quickly noticed when a new
set of data is requested.
Please let us know what the issues are and what it takes to move forward
with this, Does this make sense?
Thanks,
GerardM
