Perhaps some of these concerns can be addressed in the OSLC Primer [1] 
that is being developed.

I'm not sure how much detail you are looking for but I could imagine it be 
as simple as just adding more properties to the resource within you own 
namespace.  The make clients aware of this and if you are supporting 
resources shapes, you can either generate your own or use the ones in the 
appendices to get started.
