Here's where I get confused: between something like SKOS, which is  
used to define a vocabulary, and instance data, such as that of BL.  
Andy's reply makes me wonder if SKOS should be used at all for  
instance data.

I can imagine wanting to carry a variety of labels in the instance  
data, purely for the convenience of having the human-usable forms  
available with the data itself. If the forms are of equal value but in  
different languages, a language code might suffice. But it may be  
desirable to carry both preferred and alternate forms. It seems that  
this could require that the instance metadata scheme define  
appropriate properties for those.
