[Developers] freebase and dbpedia

[Ravi Iyer]

Hi....

I was browsing a few topics in Freebase and dbpedia and it seems to me that
while Freebases' structure makes it uniquely useful, there appears to be a
large amount of dbpedia data that isn't in freebase.

eg
http://www.freebase.com/view/en/bobby_rahal
http://dbpedia.org/page/Bobby_Rahal

I'm considering using the guid links to merge the data, but I thought I'd
ask what plans were already in place to import the dbpedia data into
freebase first.  Or is it a matter of modeling the data ahead of the import
so that the dbpedia data has somewhere well structured to go (ie. there is
no racecar driver type in freebase)?  apologies if this is covered somewhere
obvious....

Thanks for a great product....
Ravi
