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. -Kei Kingsley Idehen wrote: > Kei Cheung wrote: >> Matthias, >> >> In DBPedia, the following pages describe 2 brain regions >> (Telencephalon and Cerebrum): >> >> http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon >> http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum > <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon> dbpprop:redirect > <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Cerebrum> > > DBpedia world view should be formally expressed as: > <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon> owl:sameAs > <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Cerebrum> > > Based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telencephalon which reads: > The *cerebrum or telencephalon*, together with the diencephalon, > constitute the forebrain.... > > If doesn't set off a war, I'll issue a SPARQL Update :-) > > > Kingsley >> >> 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 >> >> >> Matthias Samwald wrote: >>> Question: Does a mapping between DBpedia and the OBO ontologies >>> exist?
