Thanks for the link Ben - it does include a sensible property example, although 
including an example from UML muddies the waters a bit since AssociationClass 
built into the language already.

One clarification … AFAIK the very concept of punning is not needed when under 
an OWL 2 RDF Semantics (i.e. OWL 2 Full) because there is no need in the logic 
to treat the same URI as two separate things. I’ve seen explanations like the 
following in online training slides I found (there are from from Pascal 
Hitzler):

Punning
• Description logics impose type separation, i.e. names of individuals, 
classes, and properties must be disjoint.
• In OWL 2 Full, type separation does not apply.
• In OWL 2 DL, type separation is relaxed, but a class X and an individual X 
are interpreted semantically as if they were different.

I think all logics “beyond” DL don’t need punning as a concept at all, although 
I’m not an HOL expert.

Cheers,
David
