That made it clear, thanks again. I'm sure it will be helpful for other developers either in the future.

I did not find this a rookie question at all.

This seems to get to the heart of some of the real difficult issues in Semantic 
Web.

My perspective is different from yours, and a resource description that I 
author is a description of the resource from my perspective; a resource 
description that you author is a description from your perspective.

If I have some detailed application that depends in some subtle way on my 
description, I may want to ignore your version; on the other hand, a third 
party might want to use both of our points of view.

One way of tacking this problem is to have three graphs for this case:

Gj, Gu, G=

Gj contains triples describing my point of view
Gu contains triples describing your point of view
G= contains the owl:sameAs triples

Then, in some application contexts, we use Gj, sometimes Gu, and sometimes all 
three.

Thanks for the quick answer : )

So this issue is that subjective for contexts which allows to use owl:sameAs to 
link resources  if they are not semantically even a little bit related in real 
world?

Sorry if I'm asking too basic questions. I'm still a rookie at this :D

My question is, does LODD use owl:sameAs properly? For instance, are those two resources, 
dbpedia:Metamizole and drugbank:DB04817 (code for Metamizole), really identical? Or am I 
getting the word "property" in the paper wrong?
The question is always about: do those URIs denote the same thing? Put 
differently, do the two URIs have a common referent?

## Turtle ##

<#i> owl:sameAs <#you>.

## End ##

That's a relation in the form of a 3-tuple based statement that carries entailment 
consequences for a reasoner that understand the relation semantics. Through some 
"context lenses" the statement above could be accurate, in others totally 
inaccurate.

Conclusion, beauty lies eternally in the eyes of the beholder :-)
