RH: Would http://www.semanticWWW.com be able to provide the list of classes 
for the nominated concept.

Certainly. It's kind of must for the "all-the-meanings service". The 
http://www.semanticWWW.com will supply ONTOLOGICAL URIs, powerful and 
effective,  like the one to be used for the "sameness" (full version):
http://www.standardontology.org/World/Reality/Thing=Being 
=Entity=Resource/Relation/Comparison/Sameness/individual|specicifc|generic/
 Having such an URI one can distinguish at least three key senses of 
"sameness" :
individual sameness (individual identity or numerical unity; there is one 
thing but more than one names);
specific sameness (there are many things but one common kind, the unity of 
species or kind);
generic sameness (there are many kinds but one common genus, the unity of 
genus or class, and type).
Then the sameness URIs, http://sameas, are to be http://sameindividualas; 
http://samekindas, http://sameclassas,....
The full meanings of sameness is much richer, this sample is only to have an 
idea how our everchanging world is complicated in its composition and 
structure, and that we need powerful constructs to effectively represent and 
reason on it.
