The SKOS guide [1], in the "Concept Identity and Mapping" section, states that owl:sameAs *should not* be used to indicate that two concepts share the same meaning. It gives some rationale in the section for this. Looking at the OWL guide [2], in the "4.1. Equivalence between Classes and Properties" section, I'm wondering whether one can use owl:equivalentClass to indicate that two concepts share the same meaning. If there is a reason why owl:equivalentClass can/cannot be used for this, should it also be mentioned in "Concept Identity and Mapping" section? Thanks, Andy.
