Yes, indeed. Machine processing of information relies on
consistent usage of terms. You can't reuse information for

You're correct here but it is the state of the art. Interestingly
enough, I've found that in general the biology-based scientists and
investigators are not all that bothered by this confusion and despite
the confusion seem to make their way through it.
The problem is that semantic web is intended to make machine to
understand. And
the clarity is a prerequisite to instruct machine unambigously.
