You could use the Freebase data dumps to narrow down what you're looking for and then go to DBpedia for any missing information. They're down weekly and include both DBpedia IDs as well as the original Wikipedia article number, so you can easily link to either. http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Data_dumps
