Hi all, today we reached the end of the Mappings Creation Sprint. The DBpedia community managed to increased the coverage of infobox templates to 80.73% on the English Wikipedia [1]. This is a boost of more than 11% and something to be proud of at this point, even though we fell short of the ambitious goal that was set at the beginning. The /ontology/ namespace will now contain significantly more valuable, high-quality data.
A big thank you to everybody that contributed! However, as the statistics continue to show, there is still room for improvement, especially for other languages [2] and in the relative number of all mapped properties. Willing contributers should register at http://mappings.dbpedia.org/ and get their input into DBpedia. Thanks for helping making this awesome open source project better!
