Michel, You can use owl:sameAs between resources. SHACL will not do any reasoning based on this statement.
As you mentioned, the semantics of owl:sameAs is somewhat problematic. In most cases, users do not want or expect sameAs inferencing as intended by OWL. They typically want some meaning and conclusions specific to their goals. We often recommend the use of skos:exactMatch or some other mapping/matching property including one(s )from your own vocabulary for which you can define your own specific semantics. > On Oct 9, 2017, at 1:59 PM, Bohms, H.M.
