Again, I do agree that Michelle Obama the foaf:Person is different from the skos:Concept created by me in my skos:ConceptScheme. Both are not sameAs. But look. In my world, every person carries an implicit skos:Concept with them. There is a natural 1:1 correspondence between people and those concepts. Now I'm asking, what's the harm in identifying both the foaf:Person and the implicit skos:Concept with the same URI, e.g., http://dbpedia.org/resource/Michelle_Obama?
