Kei,
The entry for Telencephaolon redirects to Cerebrum, which suggests
that 'telencephalon' and 'cerebrum' are synonyms that refer to the
same thing / the same class of things. Reflecting on the
neuroscientific literature I read, the term 'telencephalon' is more
often used in context of the developing brain, while the term
'cerebrum' is more often used in the context of the adult brain.
owl:sameAs or owl:equivalentClass might be ok here, but I would need
to analyze the literature more thoroughly. Alternatively, a
relationship such as 'Cerebrum derives_from Telencephalon' could be
stated (derives_from is a relation defined in the relation ontology [1]).
Cheers,

Matthias,
All good, but any changes have to go through Wikipedia re. DBpedia.

Matthias,
In DBPedia, the following pages describe 2 brain regions
(Telencephalon and Cerebrum):
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon
http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum
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

Question: Does a mapping between DBpedia and the OBO ontologies
exist? Has someone already invested some time in doing this, or at
least reviewed how to best approach it?
Given the central position of DBpedia in the linked data cloud and
its rich content in the biomedical domain, creating such a mapping
is an obvious (and very useful) thing to do.
