I think this is reasoable as far as it goes. What you
haven't treated is how the properties present on
bibrec_i, citerec_i get migrated around.

The OWL rule that we're trying to bypass is,

{ ?x owl:sameAs ?y . ?x ?p ?o } => { ?y ?p ?o }

so do all properties from bibrec_i and citerec_i
get migrated to b1 and then any post-dedup queries
would typically be made against b1?

Also mind the implication of sameas. It commutes
so what you are also saying here is,

    :b1 a Person .
    :bibrec_i a Bundle .
    :citerec_i a Bundle .

So maybe you don't really mean owl:sameAs on the
bundle.

But if you don't mean owl:sameAs there, then where
do you put the properties? (Potential answer: pick
either bibrec_i or citerec_i arbitrarily and have a
specific predicate in the bundle to indicate that it
is the "primary" resource).

Cheers,
