Hello,

I am Adrian and working with Pascal at the hbz on Linked Open Data stuff, 
especially lobid.org. I subscribed to this list some days ago.

This sounds reasonable.

I don't understand why you'd need such a query if ?o is something like 
<http://lobid.org/resource/HT014469321>. Or do I get something wrong here?

rdfs:seeAlso would definitely be an improvement. skos:related has skos:Concept 
as rdfs:domain and thus is problematic. And umbel:isLike suggests a closer 
match than there might be.

I think both makes sense. Weaken owl:sameAs to rdfs:seeAlso and allow adding 
domain-specific properties.

...or might be a frbr:Item or even a frbr:Expression. It shouldn't be two or 
more of these, though, as according to the general FRBR model they are 
disjoint. E.g. the FRBR core ontology (one of the different FRBR ontologies) 
reads:

<http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Work>
    owl:disjointWith <http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Expression>, 
<http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Item>, 
<http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#Manifestation>  .

But we better not start a FRBR discussion here. Usually, they absorb much time 
that is better spent elsewhere and don't lead to anything productive. Having 
said this, it might be we made a bad choice using these FRBRish properties in 
lobid.org. But we think, at least the distinction between work, manifestation 
and item makes sense. Anyway, you should only use of the domain-specific 
property http://rdvocab.info/RDARelationshipsWEMI/manifestationOfWork to link 
from DBpedia to library catalogs etc. if you think it makes sense to type 
literary works on DBpedia as FRBR:Work. I think one can reasonably argue it 
does make sense.
