That frad:soundLabel does not already exist is an opportunity
:-)

The LLD group could say clearly that it sees a need for
alignment here and say a few words about how that alignment
might be expressed.  Such a statement of problem could be used
for scoping a follow-on activity to work out the alignments
in more detail.

Of course owl:equivalentClass relationships would be great if
the models really do align so closely, but if the fit is not as
exact then subclass relationships would already be very helpful.
