Yes, we are thinking about this quite a while. The first step will be to set up some kind of live-syncronization between Wikipedia and DBpedia. For this we already got access to the live-stream of Wikipedia updates from Wikimedia's Brion Vibber. As a second step the DBpedia additions will be integrated back as annotations into Wikipedia pages. As a result there would be some kind of roundtrip-engineering between bot possible: If people see a error or mistake they can correct in Wikipedia and the correction will show up on DBpedia. However, we have to be careful not to overstrain Wikipedians, since they are usually more interested in texts than structure ;-) Best, Sören
