I've been wanting to use SKOS to link a tag to a POWDER description for some time, and have tried to bring this topic to the SWD WG, but received no reactions from there, so I've been wondering if it is just wrong and should be done in an entirely different way, or if it is just that emails fly easily under the radar. It seems like the link between the topic (or tag) and the thing itself, is not something that is under consideration now. It clearly was in the old SKOS core guide: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20051102/#secmodellingrdf and I would think that skos:relatedConcept has the range of skos:Concept, which would make it unusable for linking to a POWDER description. I was hoping there would be a SKOS property that reasonably could link a SKOS concept (i.e. in my case a tag) to a POWDER description as well as the real thing. And I'd certainly like to hear if there are opinions here, and if there is a chance of this going into SKOS. Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Semantic Web Specialist Opera Software ASA
