The issue more lies in finding a relationship that not only says what you want, but is also common enough that other people (or, really, agents, but there's still a person there somewhere) recognize it. For example, umbel:isLike (like Jeff mentioned, like http://purl.org/NET/marccodes/muscomp/dv#genre uses) hits a fairly sweet spot, I think, as far as saying you think you're talking about the same thing, but nobody really uses umbel, really. And therein lies the rub. If skos:exactMatch/closeMatch didn't infer skos:Concepts on either end or foaf had some equivalency property, no problem. But some relatively obscure vocabulary (with a very difficult to grok general purpose) is going to be a much tougher sell. -Ross.
