Yes, TimBL also gave me that example. However, that example is not plausible, much less convicing. It seems to be the fault of a misuse of sameas and the attendant wrong OWL conclusions, again, of which I have done an analysis of, feel free to read [1]. The right answer is probably not to use sameAs or OWL at all, but use something like a SIOC term for accountOf. Right now we are doing a study of how most things that are inferred via using OWL over sameas are wrong, our guess so far is more than half of the inferences that use sameas are incorrect. Given that sameAs usage is often broken, usecases involving sameAs are IMHO red herrings. So, try again. Not convincing a reason for essentially doubly the number of prefix terms in RDFa and making widespread vocabularies like OGP not interpreted as they were intended.
