Hi, I want to get some broader feedback and opinion on this question.
There is a use case where an external dataset is modelled in SKOS, and we want to map it to DBpedia. Something like: <http://mydataset/433256> a skos:Concept; owl:sameAs <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Michelle_Obama>; . I've used owl:sameAs here. Now the problem is that my:433256 is a skos:Concept, while dbp:Michelle_Obama is a foaf:Person. I wonder wether that's a problem. I can't see any immediate contradiction arising from that, but I'm uncertain. Another option would be to use skos:closeMatch or skos:exactMatch, but these are intended for use between skos:Concepts, while I'm trying to connect a skos:Concept to a foaf:Person. The main question, I guess, is wether people in the DBpedia project would consider the assertion <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Michelle_Obama> a skos:Concept . to be acceptable or erroneous, or wether SKOS folks tell me that skos:Concept is obviously disjoint from foaf:Person. I know that this is a complex issue, so I'm not really looking for a "right" or "wrong" answer. I'm more interested in getting all the pros and cons and pitfalls and caveats on the table, so please, if you have any opinion on the issue, I want to hear it. I'm cc'ing Pat Hayes, because he said he's interested in that kind of question.
