Hah! Sure, but there’s a deeper problem that this exposes. It’s the absence of
any real way to specify context for reasoning. It’s the reason why it’s normal to
ignore the meaning of owl:sameAs or simply avoid using it. If you take all the
triples and try to apply all the rules, you get nonsense. Having literals as subject
is not the source of the nonsense. The nonsense is caused by having no standard
way to do reasoning while keeping the results under control.
