Hi Chris, thanks for the advice. OK, will add owl:sameAs properties to dbpedia - we don't have wikipedia links for everyone, but we do for enough people to make it worthwhile. The links to eg. wikipedia use the property <http://qdos.com/schema#wikipedia >, is there something we can usefully make those properties a subPropertyOf? I would have liked to use the FOAF site membership properties, but they're unhelpful for the particular data we're trying to handle. - Steve
