Hi Hugh, It seems that http://sameas.org/store/kelle/?uri=http://stitch.cs.vu.nl/vocabularies/rameau/ark:/12148/cb14521343b already has the owl:sameAs to http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb14521343b so all is already taken care of! Great job :-) That being said I'm curious about your experience on the matter: did you have once a case where a linked dataset was "moved", and the publisher and/or yourself asserted RDF statements to handle the transition? Either with owl:sameAs, dcterms:replaces or anything else...

It seems to really match the case at hand: the URIs are really about the same resource. And with the new situation, all the 'official' statements on the stitch URIs comes from the data.bnf.fr site. And there's just one such statement: the sameAs one! >> So that limits the risk of dangerous inferences that people are usually afraid of, I'd say. >> >> We could still use dcterms:replaces *next* to owl:sameAs.

Which in turns hints that you're considering that the URIs denote the URI themselves (or a 'concept-with-a-URI'), and not the resource (concept).
