Re: [Dbpedia-discussion] Advancing the DBpedia ontology

Hi all,

I am currently working with Aldo Gangemi on exploiting the mappings to 
DOLCE (and the high level disjointness axioms in DOLCE) for finding 
modeling issues both in the instances and the ontology.

I will not be able to travel to the meeting either, but of course we 
will share our findings once we're finished, and probably also ask for 
some input and feedback.

Cheers,
Heiko
