Hmm. I'm still not getting why this is a problem. It seems like as long as
the ISSNs in both datasets are represented by nodes with type-assignments,
all you have to assert is that the two types are equivalent (e.g. same URIs,
or owl:equivalentClass...), and that their rdfs:labels uniquely define them
(e.g. owl:InverseFunctionalProperty...). I don't (yet) see why you need an
imaginary extra dataset in between.
