The simplest version of OWL that the OWL spec defines is "OWL Lite",  
and rdfs:subClassOf, rdfs:subPropertyOf, owl:equivalentClass and  
owl:equivalentProperty all work there.

Of course, if you just use rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf,  
you don't need any OWL at all - RDFS reasoning is sufficient.

<#Ben> myvocab:name "Ben" .
myvocab:name rdfs:subPropertyOf foaf:name .

is enough information to reason that the following is true:

<#Ben> foaf:name "Ben" .
