Re: DBpedia 3.2 release, including DBpedia Ontology and RDF links to Freebase

Dan Brickley is wondering ''Is Wikipedia foredoomed also?''.

Hardly. Although it started as a faultpedia and folkpedia, now we all enjoy 
the ever largest dynamic worldwide knowledge reference online. Its trend is 
to become a base of 'all-knowing, omniscient' web, say, Wise Web, to be 
technically supported by semantic technologies and intelligent tools. But it 
is still created as 'distributed knowledge by distributed intelligence', So 
Wikipedia, its content and categories, needs a total ontological structure, 
converging and interfacing its basic categories, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Lists_of_basic_topics
To be specific,  by the end of the year, hope, i cold post online, 
OntoPaedia, Encyclopedia of Unified Knowledge, a test try how 'fundamental 
ontological schema' might look and how the world knowledge (as Wikipedia's 
Content) could be merged.
