I have a vague memory of seeing an experiment like this conducted by one of the FOAF aggregator services not too long ago. Well, not going as far as looking up definitions, but listing/counting occurrences of property/class URIs in the data. I can't recall where it was just now but maybe one of the FOAF folk here might be able to point to something. It was quite an eye-opener to see the large number of "variant" URIs deployed for common terms (either because specs had changed over time or because of typos in XML, "#" in place of "/" in XML namespace names, and so on), as well as the range of "locally" minted terms.
