And what of a purpose of yours? That is when you are combining datasets 
for purposes of your own?

Sorry, who is using the x:correspondsTo? You make it sound like 
correspondsTo will be used so as to allow/enable the choice you want to 
make with regard to owl:sameAs.

Note I am not disagreeing that you will need to make the distinction, 
what I am missing is how correspondsTo (if not used with sufficient 
granularity) will help you get there? You can't choose to ignore 
owl:sameAs on the basis of the components that make up the relationship?

Hope you are having a great day!
