Melvin,

In schema.org, you have schema:sameAs relation delivering the very same 
effect as:

[] owl:sameAs <#Person> .

Which is why we use our Certificate Ontology to pull all of this 
together for anyone that's interested in navigating these issues, 
coherently [1].

You want to say, as clearly as possible, to both humans and machines:

A WebID is an Identifier used to Identify an Agent.

Anyone should be able too lookup a Class or Class Property definition en 
route to understanding the nature of a WebID.

RDF based Linked Data doesn't need to be magic, it simply needs to map 
to coherently to Natural Language (which is just another mechanism for 
representing relations).
