Hi David,
the links have been produced by manually mapping Wikipedia infoboxes to Wordnet synsets. But these links are not maintained anymore (we now have the Dbpedia ontology for that purpose). Regarding the property wordnet_type: as you say, the Wordnet synset denotes a class of which Nokia is an instance of.

How these triples are produced? 2. How <http://dbpedia.org/property/wordnet_type> is to be interpreted? Looks like this might be relevant to the proposed opencyc:synsetDenotes property. Thanks, David Baxter
