Don't forget the open world assumption though - given:

"Joe Bloggs represented BT on the FooSpec but took the
yankee dollar and worked for Microsoft on the BarSpec."

you could end up with:

Joe Bloggs worksFor BT
AND
Joe Bloggs worksFor MS

Which could be not only RDF-possible but also (potentially) real-world
possible, though not reflect the actual situation.

Cheap way around it might be to have a property, workedForButNoMore,
so that your end application could discount all corresponding ex-jobs.

Cheers,
Danny.
