Anyway, I contacted the author about this and he has indicated an intent to eventually include DBpedia URIs. Thus, we have a nice interface to Linked Data with the strange characteristic of excluding DBpedia identifiers :(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.
Not it isn't duplication. Wikipedia HTTP URLs identify Wikipedia documents. DBpedia URIs identify entities associated with Wikipedia documents. There's a world of difference here!
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).
Hmm.. if you look at the identifiers on the viewer's right hand side, you will find out (depending on you understanding of Linked Open Data concepts) that they too identify entities that are associated with Web pages, rather than web pages themselves.
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.
I don't really grasp the point you are trying to make. These should be non-issues when the semantics of relations and the nature of identifiers are understood, in regards to Linked Open Data and a Semantic Web.
