Great, thanks for the link!

However, I'd like to understand why a sameAs would be bad here, I have
the intuition it might be, but am really not sure. It looks to me like
there's no resource out there that couldn't be a SKOS concept as well
(you may want to use anything for categorisation purpose --- the loose
"categorisation" relationship being encoded in the predicate, not the
type). If it can't be, then I am beginning to feel slightly
uncomfortable about SKOS :-)

I am sure this problem must have been looked at before, e.g. within LCSH?
