Hi Dan, thanks! I like your examples. I am thinking about these and usefulness, and get back later.... -j

I have difficulties to understand the practical usefulness of the distinction "NapoleonConcept" vs. RWO/FWO "NapoleonBonaparte" :-(
How "NapoleonConcept" fits in the definitions:
S: (n) concept, conception, construct (an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances)
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=concept&sub=Search+WordNet&o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&h=
or
A SKOS concept can be viewed as an idea or notion; a unit of thought. However, what constitutes a unit of thought is subjective, and this definition is meant to be
suggestive, rather than restrictive.

?
Of course my idea of "Monica Bellucci" differs (somehow) of the real Monica Bellucci :-) However...
Yes, I can see the usefulness of the distinction between different catalographic identities (as subjects), such as:
Mark Twain vs. Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson vs. Lewis Carroll
Enea Silvio Piccolomini vs. Pius II
or even:
Bill Clinton (as himself)
Bill Clinton (as governor of Arkansas)
Bill Clinton (as president of USA)
But to consider them concepts ? Useful ?
