Several.

One is as Alex Shkotin suggested, to use equivalentClass,  
equivalentProperty or sameAs.

Another is to create a single class or individual with the meaning you  
want and use (annotation) properties to associate different strings  
with that single class.

A third is to use your own (annotation) property to link the items  
that are supposed to be synonyms.
