	A semantical incorrect template mapping links non existing Wikipedia properties to ontology properties or vice versa but without being syntactical incorrect. On the other hand it is possible to create syntactical incorrect mappings which are semantical correct e.g. when a DBpedia template element is not conform with the grammar rules but maps properties correctly. Both forms of validation are supported by the DBpedia mapping tool.

	==== ~~Semantical~~ validation ====		==== Semantic validation ====
	Semantical validation or ''comparing'' is a feature to find unmapped or non-existent Wikipedia properties in template mappings. It is also designed to determine non-existent DBpedia ontology properties used in template mappings. Found differences are highlighted and a help message is attached to the node when a user hovers with the mouse over the marked node. Figure \ref{fig:compare} shows the screen view after the ''compare'' feature has been run. On the left side in the Wikipedia property widget all mapped properties are grayed out, so that users can identify unmapped properties by color and add these properties to the template mapping. In the mapping widget unknown template or ontology properties are marked with a red exclamation mark. If the user locates the mouse pointer over the node a blue bubble with a help message appears to tell the user that the template property is unknown. In the ontology property widget already mapped properties are grayed out as well.

	Not all Wikipedia templates consist of a textual template definition instead they redirect to other defined templates e.g. the Wikipedia template ''Template:Infobox Prime Minister'' redirects to the Wikipedia template ''Template:Infobox officeholder'' which means that the template for a prime minister inherits all properties of the officeholder template.		Not all Wikipedia templates consist of a textual template definition instead they redirect to other defined templates e.g. the Wikipedia template ''Template:Infobox Prime Minister'' redirects to the Wikipedia template ''Template:Infobox officeholder'' which means that the template for a prime minister inherits all properties of the officeholder template.

	Nevertheless users can create a mapping for the ''Infobox Prime Minister''~~\footnote{\url{~~http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping:Infobox_Prime_Minister}} template. This is why the tool supports redirects when a user tries to load the available template properties from Wikipedia for Prime Minister. The tool then shows a confirmation box to the user asking if the tool should load the properties from the redirected template. This enables the user to create a mapping for the Prime Minister template while having access to the properties of the officeholder template of Wikipedia.
