Ok, so following up on this, I've created:

http://open.vocab.org/terms/commonEndeavour

which as has the subproperties:

http://open.vocab.org/terms/commonWork
http://open.vocab.org/terms/commonExpression
http://open.vocab.org/terms/commonManifestation
http://open.vocab.org/terms/commonItem

Each layer down in the commonEndeavour hierarchy implicitly entails
all of the relationships above it.

I cannot imagine ov:commonExpression really ever being used (I mean,
it's possible, of course, but I just don't think you can get 5 people
to agree on the definition of "Expression" as it appears in data in
the wild), but I created it for closure to the model (plus, cut and
paste is easy).

Feedback on this is most welcome!

Thanks,
-Ross.
