Based on the AAA principle, its impractical for DBpedia to be the 
arbiter of who or how its referenced, really. A Web of Linked should 
simply be about cross references being discovered in a myriad of ways th:

1. Twitter announcements
2. Mailing list posts
3. Blog posts
4. Serendipitous Discovery via lookup spaces and services etc..

Paul: if you have a linkbase, you should publish at a URL. I can then 
load it into its own Named Graph within one of the many Linked Data 
Spaces that we host (including the Virtuoso instance hosting DBpedia).
