There's room for all at this table!  :)

No problem with Digital Camera and Digital Computer.  Why? Because in
OWL, each term is uniquely identified by a URI, e.g.,

http://www.camera.org#Digital
http://www.computer.org#Digital

I was being lazy in my examples.  To be more accurate I should have used
these URIs.  /Roger
