Bijan et. al. are right about the semantics of owl:sameAs, but as I've 
said before, I think that something weaker needs to be coined 
("lod:equivalentTo") that states that two URIs refer to the same thing 
but that any semantic entailments *may* not hold (i.e. user beware). 
That's a dangerous thing, I agree, but it seems to be what the Linked 
Data community needs and what's happening organically in the wild with 
the (ab)use of owl:sameAs.
