As I said, I dont have a case study, but I would be interested to verify
if (untested hypothesis)  the fact that RDF can be used to represent two
things,

class:relation:class

class:attribute:value

can cause problems (resolution conflits) when querying large heterogeneous
datasets
I would be reassured to hear that this is not the case, and if so then
please point me to relevant sources.....

thanks!
