Re: Deprecating owl:sameAs

Hi Sarven,

I love the idea and I'm a big fan of your work filling my inbox with 
public-lod mails!

Yet I believe this discussion is becoming too ad-hoc. In order to get a 
bit of a structure into this, feel free to fork my samesamebutdifferent 
ontology and pull request your suggestions:

https://github.com/pietercolpaert/samesamebutdifferent/blob/master/vocabulary.ttl

I already added the things we have come up with in turtle. As we are not 
responsible for OWL, I suggest creating a new ontology on a new namespace.

Kind regards,

Pieter

P.S. Also feel free to donate a proper domain name for this
