I don't think subproperties are the answer. My problem is that the meaning of a property is defined within the boundaries of the whole vocabulary, whereas I'd like the meaning to be defined within the boundaries of its "neighborhood" context. If it makes sense. For example I could have two classes, RealFriend.address and VirtualFriend.address. Here I'd like "address" to mean 2 different things (physical address, email address) depending on the local context, ie. RealFriend vs VirtualFriend. Of course I can use multiple vocabularies, or I can rename them phys_address/email_address; but I hope the example is not too trivial and that you can understand what I mean.
