Hi Raphael, >> Can should show me harmful examples of re-use of common terms from >> popular LOD vocabularies? Yes, see the example mentioned before with geo:lat and geo:long at :http://stko.geog.ucsb.edu/location_linked_data >> Providing equivalentX axioms trigger the same "stability over the time" >> problem when the target vocabulary evolve so you should anyway be >> concern by this issue. Keep in mind that those are your own local axioms. You can remove such a relation if you feel that it is too strong. Moreover, in most cases equivalence relations will be too strong anyway and you would most likely aim at more complex alignment patterns.
