Is bar.com… really Alice, or a document about Alice? And is foo.com/alice a document, or Alice? Only if both are Alice, the sameAs makes sense. If both are documents, they're probably not the same; if either is a person, then they're certainly not the same.

Can I link to triple pattern fragments datasets as if they >were resources? Such as:<http://other.com/alice> rdfs:seeAlso ><http://bar.com/?subject=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> . ?Absolutely. Note that similar constructs are already present in fragment representations: http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?subject=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh contains <http://data.mmlab.be/people/Ruben+Verborgh> rdfs:seeAlso<http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh>. (And note the difference between the person and the document.)
Without any need for *HttpRange-14 distraction* (or scare mongering), simply lookup the following URI that denotes a Vapor Report: <http://bit.ly/entity-denotation-and-connotation-via-rdf-relations-ruben-verborgh-fragment> :-)
From the JSON-LD document it concludes:<http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh> denotes a Web document. <http://data.mmlab.be/people/Ruben+Verborgh> denotes an Entity described by <http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh>.
From the Turtle document it concludes:<http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh> denotes a Web document. <http://data.mmlab.be/people/Ruben+Verborgh> denotes an Entity described by <http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh>.
As per prior post in this thread, a relation (e.g., foaf:primaryTopic, *dcterms:subject*, wdrs:describedby, vocab:defines, xhv:describes etc..) is used to *explicitly* (rather than *implicitly*) facilitate the name->address indirection that characterizes an RDF based Linked Data term, in the HTTP driven medium generally known as the World Wide Web.
