Thanks for the update Dan!

I'm finding it a bit hard to disambiguate between the use of schema:url and schema:sameThingAs. I don't see how calling it sameThingAs makes it easier to "reconstitute a useful entity-relationship data graph from markup"; if anything I think it could make it harder, since now you have to look for two itemprops (schema:url and schema:sameThingAs) instead of one. Can you flesh out the difference a bit more either here, or on the wiki page? One argument that could potentially be made is that 'url' is (in name) constrained to resolvable, mostly http URIs ... whereas sameThingAs could point at URIs (URNs, etc). But I'm not sure this is a terribly convincing argument :-) //Ed
