comment: FOAF Depiction and Symbolic Labelling

Hi,



[[[ Symbolic Labelling

Symbolic labelling means labelling a concept with an image.]]]


If I understood the group has given the possibility to create text to  
give label to concepts.
     skos:prefLabel
     skos:altLabel
And in a second time, "hmm maybe we should have images", then
     skos:prefSymbol
     skos:altSymbol

So I thought "Ok, because images can convey a generic meaning, for  
example an icon." and in second time, I thought
"Well what about sounds ! I could be in an environment where the  
sound will be my UI."
And I thought about the way we are conveying understanding in our  
world: touch, smell, etc.

So why more images than than something else?
