Yes. An example due to Jeni Tennison is: http://schema.org/Person/Minister

...this could plausibly be either a govt minister or a religious role.
RDFa's comfort with multiple types from independent vocabularies makes
it easier for such terms to be properly documented, rather than
guessed from natural language reading of fragments of URLs. This seems
important for many reasons including ability to include mappings,
examples and multi-linguage translations. For eg:

<div vocab="http://schema.org/" prefix="x:
http://example.org/2013/person-extras123#" typeof="Person
x:Minister"><span property="name">Joan Smith</span></div>
