Re: SKOS "narrower" bug

Dear Todd,

This is certainly the right place for bug reports, and huge thanks for spending the time to look and report!
I'm going to ask whether we can make a quick update on the schema file. This is a small bug fix that does not change anything in the formal semantics of the ontology, thus I believe we should be able to proceed with it relatively easily.

Best regards,

Antoine
