Mark,

Yep!

Linked Data Web Route:
http://dbpedia.org/resource/London
via
rdf:type
to
<http://umbel.org/umbel/sc/City>  -- which goes to ---> 
<http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjylZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA>
or directly to:
<http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjylZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA>
which is linked to:
<http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-capital-noun-3>


Of course the Freebase URI is picked up along the way via the 
"owl:sameAs" link between DBpedia and Freebase  :-)

BTW - I've just put out a post about how you can make your own personal 
or service specific rendition of DBpedia  'in the clouds" via the 
recently released DBpedia+Virtuoso AMI for Amazon EC2.
