Hi Sarven,
I love the idea and I'm a big fan of your work filling my inbox with
public-lod mails!
Yet I believe this discussion is becoming too ad-hoc. In order to get a
bit of a structure into this, feel free to fork my samesamebutdifferent
ontology and pull request your suggestions:
https://github.com/pietercolpaert/samesamebutdifferent/blob/master/vocabulary.ttl
I already added the things we have come up with in turtle. As we are not
responsible for OWL, I suggest creating a new ontology on a new namespace.
Kind regards,
Pieter
P.S. Also feel free to donate a proper domain name for this

There is overwhelming research [1, 2, 3] and I think it is evident
at this point that owl:sameAs is used inarticulately in the LOD cloud.
The research that I've done makes me conclude that we need to do a
massive sweep of the LOD cloud and adopt owl:sameSameButDifferent.
I think the terminology is human-friendly enough that there will
be minimal confusion down the line, but for the the pedants among
us, we can define it along the lines of:
The built-in OWL property owl:sameSameButDifferent links things to
things. Such an owl:sameSameButDifferent statement indicates that
two URI references actually refer to the same thing but may be
different under some circumstances.
What about
owl : sometimesSameAs
Thoughts?
