But this is not an equivalent translation in RDF(S). The URI owl:sameAs has no specific meaning in RDF(S); you could likewise write "ex:yz" instead. Only OWL tools, or at least RDF(S) tools with additional support for owl:sameAs would be able to understand what you are intending here. For other RDF tools, you are just asserting that there is some resource with two properties, but the values of these two properties are in no way related to each other -- quite in contrast to the original triple. So this should certainly not be suggested as "best practice" in an RDF context. Michael -- Dipl.-Inform.
