Hi Paul,
 
You can just type following in your browser:
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Marcos_Escobedo
 
Now, you can see: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Miguel_Hidalgo_y_Costilla
against the property:   dbpedia-owl:country
 
I am just browsing the existing data on DBPedia, I am not sure whethere that 
happens due to reasoning or 
that is the data without reasoning.
 
You mentioned that:
"The ontology is best used just as a loose reference guide, not to reason on : 
)"
 
I have serious doubts on your this statement.
 
Thanks.

Hi Vishalif you are loading the instance data and the dbpedia ontology into a 
triple store that has RDFS reasoning capability then its because the ontology 
properties that are typically defined with domains and ranges are misused 
throughout the dbpedia instance data - which causes instances to be inferred to 
be the wrong class types. This is prevalent throughout - its a bit of a mess to 
say the least. 

The ontology is best used just as a loose reference guide, not to reason on : )
