DBpedia Ontology Committee

The role of the DBpedia ontology committee is to:

• set the future directions of the DBpedia ontology
• set best practices for mapping
• engage the community in meaningful discussions, eg see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Authority_control
• formulate and execute focused investigations that lead to best practices, eg What's in a Name, how map Parent Places, etc
• improve the ontology and mapping editing workflow
