Hi Bob,

Yesterday I was discussing with a colleague whether rdfs:label or
skos:prefLabel would be better, and today I noticed this at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-skos-reference-20090818/#L1045 : 

<S> rdf:type skos:ConceptScheme ;
  dct:title "My First Thesaurus" ;
  skos:hasTopConcept <B> .

dct: is never declared anywhere. I'm guessing from the t that
http://purl.org/dc/terms/ was meant, but title is a property of
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ , not of http://purl.org/dc/terms/ . Either
way, it's confusing and another example of why people should always declare
their prefixes, if only in a note at the beginning of a spec that uses them
in examples.

But enough of my complaining. Has anyone seen a common practice using a
particular property to assign a human-readable label to a
skos:ConceptScheme? 

 

FYI, Drupal 7 uses dc:title for the human readable label of its vocabularies
(skos:ConceptScheme), where dc is mapped to http://purl.org/dc/terms/.
