Hi Tony,
I think that DNS authorities won't matter in this case as long as the
URI are the same after all expansions (prefix). I can state anything I
want about http://www.amazon.co.uk/some-book even if I'm not the domain
authority.
In the case of file://A and http://your.site/B it's clearly not the same
thing unless you state explicitly in your RDF (or import some that does)
that A rdf:sameAs B and search for this relationship in your program.
cheers,
