What does this mean exactly? You're proposing that locn should 
systematically create classes and properties in its ns and provide 
axioms (equivalentClass, equivalentProperty) with other vocab when 
necessary?

I'm all for fighting against the obesity of having so many classes and 
properties which have exactly the same meaning, so either the resource 
is more specific and should indeed be created in the vocab or it is not 
and then, why not plain re-using the existing class/property?
