Apropos Chris' comments above, it's coming. DBpedia ontology to UMBEL ontology mapping is one of a number of mappings that will emerge in due course. That said -- by the very nature of this project and RDF based Linked Data in general -- anyone with a vested interest in the ontology mapping efforts can step in and accelerate matters. Thus, I encourage others to participate bearing in mind DBpedia 3.2's increased compatibility with such endeavors.
