Again, each Dataset loaded into the Virtuoso Database ends up with its 
own Named Graph IRI. The triples associated with a Named Graph IRI have 
"authority" parts in their URIs that indication of their origin.

All we did was load the OpenCyc linkset (as proven by the inverse 
relation in the DBpedia owl:sameAs relation) into its own Named Graph.

<http://lod.openlinksw.com/fct/rdfdesc/usage.vsp?g=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FMichael_Jackson&tp=2> 
is about a page that shows the Named Graph IRIs holding triples 
association with the Subject of a specific Description.

Cut long story short, OpenCyc are already fixing there DBpedia linkset 
across TBox and ABox dimensions, this is an item that's been in progress 
for a while now. Seeing the data helps people understand the 
implications the data. If you can't see the data there's nothing to fix, 
thus we end up in a subjective "fools paradise".
