Re: DBpedia to OBO mapping: did someone already work on it?

Matthias,

In DBPedia, the following pages describe 2 brain regions (Telencephalon 
and Cerebrum):

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon
http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum

NIFSTD is listed as one of the neuroscience ontologies through 
BioPortal, its description of cerebrum is available at:

http://bioportal.bioontology.org/visualize/39595/p15:birnlex_1042

If you read the editorial note (written by Bill Bug), it says:

"It isn't clear all would agree Cerebrum and Telencephalon are equivalent."

Should we use "sameAs" or something else?

Cheers,

-Kei
