You cannot say this with SKOS. You can only say that someone assigned the Concept “History of the Internet” to the resource “Tim Berners-Lee”. > I think there are three options for resolving this: > > A) Clarify that the domain of skos:subject is indeed any resource, > and that the term “subject” is used loosely here. Let's keep it simple: skos:subject rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource . skos:subject rdfs:range skos:Concept . skos:subjectOf rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource . skos:subjectOf rdfs:range skos:Concept . skos:subject owl:inverseOf skos:subjectOf . That's the way it was defined in SKOS core up to now as far as I know and there is no need to make it more complicate than this.
