swapping subject as I know a lot are simply ignoring the previous thread
and this should be considered separately ;)

Something else that keeps coming up, a subset of owl always comes in to
conversations, obviously owl:sameAs - there was a proposal from one Jim
Hendler [1] at a RDF workshop thing to perhaps do something about moving
these up a level to RDFS.

Didn't seem to get much feedback or thoughts (afaik), but given the climate
perhaps it's worth giving some strong consideration to as a community.
(Or just doing because it's a bloody good idea & would remove OWL from
virtually every conversation we end up having).
I agree with this. In particular, I'd love to see an equivalent to
owl:sameAs in the rdfs namespace, probably with a more intuitive name,
like rdfs:equals. It would take OWL out of a lot of conversations.
There weren't any accepted proposals for working on RDFS at the
workshop, but that doesn't mean it can't still be done. However, it
would need a lot of public support if this were to be considered. If
people are interested, they should voice their opinions.
