RE: [open-bibliography] MARC Codes for Forms of Musical Composition

Here three ideas to relieve the pressure on owl:sameAs:

1) Promote the use of umbel:isLike
2) Suggest to FOAF that they add an informal "sameAs" property to their ontology:
3) Create our own "mashup" ontology with an informally defined mashup:sameAs property.

In the latter two cases, it might be interesting to define it in a way that the "same as-ness" is limited to the graph in which the assertion is made. In effect, I think that's what umbel:isLike does.

> 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.

But perhaps this is an area for the working group to suggest that a general OWL DL linking ontology be developed...
