I am not sure it is what you want, but I think different name spaces
can solve your problem. It can be like vegetableNS#NameX and
PlateNS#NameX. Of course ids will be different but the "short name"
will be the same.

Best reagrds,

You can follow Jaro Slawinski's suggestion of using separate namespaces.

Or you can give each class a unique name and associate a separate  
string name using either rdfs:label or your own Datatype property.  
Those string names will not need to be unique.
