One option is to share values via sub-property relationships. In your case, define a super-property of the three and use this to assign the value - then rely on RDFS inferencing to propagate it over. But there is no harm in having multiple appearances of the same value: the triple store will treat this as a single literal node, so there is no memory overhead.
