Hi Kingsley,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I think that I am looking for something that is more specific that 
isRelatedTo - I want to say that one can expect to find information 
about the formal company registration.
I have read various warnings about the overuse of owl:sameAs, and this 
makes me cautious about using it. For now, I would prefer to assert a 
more specific relationship.

Interesting - I will look into nanotation.
