I don't understand the roundabout approach since both of these services output Freebase identifiers and they are all mapped explicitly to both DBpedia by owl:sameAs and Wikipedia via normal URL.

The only time this won't work is where the concept was sourced from someplace other than Wikipedia or Wikipedia article(s) were split/merged so there isn't a 1:1 correspondence. Tom
