Re: tidying ssn -- are you ok with?

Dear all,

+1 for Kerry's (a) :
 - (a) use skos:example and declare it an owl  annotation property (and
this will work for any other skos property too). Also don’t import skos.

My arguments are:

 - SKOS is just used for documentation purposes here. So declaring
skos:example, skos:definition, skos:note as annotation properties suffice
in our case;
 - we don't need of all SKOS axioms. Importing all of them will make
SOSA/SSN more complex to browse in Protégé for example;
 - the users of SOSA/SSN will import SOSA/SSN, but they do absolutely not
need to import SKOS axioms.

Kind regards,
Maxime
