If we introduce options to use a different URI for a resource, I think
we should definitely extract owl:sameAs relations to the English
equivalents (if they exist) at the same time.

These are the options I saw previously discussed:

1. Use IRIs instead of URIs.
For example using the IRI http://dbpedia.org/resource/Gützkow
--> also extract the triple
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Gützkow>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/G%C3%BCtzkow> .

2. Use language specific URIs with an own domain.
For example using the URI http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/%CE%93%CE%B7
--> also extract the triple
<http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/%CE%93%CE%B7>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Earth> .

3. Use both previously mentioned options together
For example using the IRI http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/Γη
--> also extract the triples
<http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/Γη>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Earth> .
and
<http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/Γη>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>
<http://el.dbpedia.org/resource/%CE%93%CE%B7> .

But maybe that is what is meant by the last bullet point.
