OWL gives the ability to state:

    "Property A is equivalent to property B".

However, that is not what's needed here.  We need to state:

    "Property A is equivalent (via some transform) to property B".

For example:

   "kilometer is equal to mile (multiplied by 1.62)"

Thus, I am trying to brainstorm ideas of how to represent this.  /Roger
