Thank you Hugh,
This is definitely an area where we need further feedback from the community.
Most of these links are DBpedia language links. The majority of the DBpedia links are not dereferencable and are based on the different DBpedia language editions provided as RDF dumps only.
In this release we decided to provide them all for completeness but we are very open to other suggestions.
Best,
Dimitris
Thanks Dimitris - well done to the whole team.
In case it helps anyone, I have brought up a sameAs store for the sameAs relations in this dataset alone:
http://sameas.org/store/wikidata_dbpedia/
In passing, it is interesting to note that the example URI, http://wikidata.dbpedia.org/resource/Q586 , has 110 sameAs URIs in this dataset alone.
What price now the old view that everybody would use the same URIs for Things?!
Best
Hugh
