Hi folks

Geonames contains about 400,000 references to DBpedia entities (this is
about 5% of the overall Geonames features), asserted by rdfs:seeAlso links.
See e.g., http://sws.geonames.org/1283416/about.rdf
The links to DBpedia are actually inferred from links to Wikipedia,
continually added by Geonames.
Geonames does not use owl:sameAs links any more, because those were leading
to crazy inferences, merging "from outside" features which are kept
distinct inside Geonames.

DBpedia uses owl:sameAs links to Geonames, under its own responsibilty :)
But there are far less links from DBpedia to Geonames than the other way
round, and my question is : where do the links from DBpedia to Geonames
come from, since they are not, most of the time, present in Wikipedia data?

Thanks for any clarification!
