sameAs and alternative forms of URIs

[rob-metalinkage]

Some of the content provided for the Definition Server has the following pattern..

http://www.opengis.net/def/observation-type
owl:sameAs http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType ;
.

http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType
rdf:type skos:ConceptScheme ;

like this, only the http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType URI resolves properly.

The Naming Authority can entail copies of all the properties for both forms of URI, and create inverse sameAs relationships.

This is probably the first priority... but.....

sameAs implies equal status of both identifiers - is this really going to be true?

In the short term we will expose content this way, but really SWGs need to review the requirements here.
