Semantic web, linking to and from Wikipedia and Freebase

[cesy]

I was recently reading some stuff about the semantic web, which I've started talking about on my journal, and it occurred to me that a lot of the Fanlore wiki policies are relevant, in terms of how data on fandom is structured and given meaning. I'm still very much at the basic level in this area, but does anyone have any thoughts on how we can link information together usefully while respecting privacy, or on how we can make sure we're not duplicating work that's done by Freebase or Wikipedia in terms of defining source texts for fandoms and making sure we're linking to a definitive source text where appropriate? In some ways it seems kind of similar to the fandom as category policy discussions. I'm also noticing that Fanlore has pages specifically for major pairings, which tend to have the most commonly used fandom name, so doesn't match the AO3 tag canonical name. I think that's right in terms of the aim of both sites, but it might be useful to keep some way of linking the two together.
