Does the official website belong in sameAs or account? It sounds like people think sameAs shouldn't be used for sites that the entity controls, for some reason. Which property would be used to reference the TripAdvisor page for a business, where the content is partially controlled by the business owner (if claimed) and partially controlled by the site? Similar hybrid models are common, eg. bandpage.com, researchgate.net . Suppose Wikipedia added a feature that let authorities claim certain attributes of their infoboxes and edit them directly. Then would the Wikipedia links all have to migrate from sameAs to account? In the end I don't strongly oppose adding a new property; I'd just like to make sure we can be really clear about the distinction we're asking authors to make because there are so many URL properties on Thing already.
