As far as the SW is concerned, the above four URIs might denote distinct resources, and unless they are equated in some manner (e.g. using owl:sameIndividualAs) they should be treated as distinct. It's important to stress that the above four resources are considered to be the same simply because they have the same set of representations and responses from the server are identitical for all four URIs -- but the REST model does not say that they are the same resource. That said, it might be reasonable to at least explore a means of normalizing URIs in some manner, if it is sure that ambiguity will not arise.
