reference: a challenge for skos

I came across this just now ...

http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000589.html

... interesting.

Short extract:

... the authors of SKOS are trying to solve a different problem, namely how
to let people who are putting explicit semantics in their web documents do
so in a way that allows for variable concept labels and partly-related
alternative conceptual schemata. Fine -- but some people may think that this
will help to represent the content of the ordinary-language documents that
ordinary folk write, especially when the documents are scientific or
technical in character. But it won't.
