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

I think sameAs might be a better reflection (than redirect) of what is 
being said in wikipedia (human readable page). Again this doesn't 
reflect the opinion of the neuroscience community. With this 
understanding in mind, I think it might be OK to make the update. Of 
course, we may still change it in the future.
