This is a misunderstanding. It is not a linked data interface, but 
simply a browser for the data in Wikidata (see it as an alternative UI 
to wikidata.org). I was only posting it here as a data browser example.

Therefore, the simple reason why you cannot see DBpedia URIs is that the 
interface is displaying only data that is actually stored in Wikidata, 
and the community has not stored DBpedia URIs. This is understandable, 
since they are already storing the Wikipedia URLs, and it would seem 
like duplicating a really significant part of the overall data.

There are similar issues with most of the other identifiers: they are 
usually the main IDs of the database, not the URIs of the corresponding 
RDF data (if available). For example, the Freebase ID of TimBL is 
"/m/07d5b" but the URI would be "http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.07d5b";. 
The community is in a tricky situation there, since most datasets do not 
use URIs as their primary IDs (which you need to find something on the 
site). Maybe we can have ways to specify string transformations with the 
data to have a way to go from primary data to linked data in such cases.

Cheers,

Markus
