Yes, exactly owl : sameAs allows two URIs to be the same.

You'd probably want to link the sameAs to the corresponding #me value in
the second server, rather than the root document.

It is better to associate data with data, rather than, data with

possibly right an FAQ on this, as it can be a source of confusion sometimes
when starting out with linked data.
