> Term collision I believe this is handled pretty well, as terms are always defined in specific namespaces. Hence my:Gene is not necessarily equivalent to your:Gene (though we could state that it is). > Specific vs. general use It is possible to define my:association as an rdfs:subPropertyOf of some more general property. I do see the problem that you may end up having to define special sets of terms for every paper... > Polymorphic definitions As pointed out above, my:Gene may be your junk DNA. While the problem can be solved by using different namespaces for different definitions of a term, how do you describe precisely how two definitions differ? This can be difficult, even when done in an informal way.
