<abstract>In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation into the mapping of English Wordnet to Wikidata, focusing on the existing mappings created by different projects. We systematically analyze the current mapping methodologies and their effectiveness, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each approach. Through a comparative analysis, we identified overlaps and discrepancies among the mappings, revealing insights into the relationships between the data sets. Our findings underscore the need for a more unified dataset that consolidates disparate mappings into a comprehensive unified Wordnet-Wikidata mapping. We propose a novel construction methodology for this unified data set, taking advantage of existing mappings while addressing their shortcomings. In addition, we discuss future perspectives and advanced techniques for mapping the remaining unmapped records, such as machine learning algorithms.
