I thought that this would be super useful, but when I looked at the
example in the message

  
http://dbpedia.org/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fclass%2Fyago%2FNewYorkCityMusicians&urilookup=1

I noticed that the yago:Musician is declared to be owl:equivalentClass
freebase:people/person.  This can't be right.  Greping through the NT
dump I find more than 20K yago classes defined to be the equivalent of
Freebase's people/person, including Uyghurs, murdered children and
Norwegian Eurovision contestants.  Given the semantics of
owl:equivalentClass, all 20K of these yago classes are asserted to
have the same extent.

Now *that's* irrational exuberance!
