Re: [hcls] Harmonization of labels, descriptions and definitions

In think in the short term, in context of the HCLS demo, we can use  
SPARUL rules to convert various forms of definitions and labels to  
the usual rdfs:comment and rdfs:label. The only issue I see is that  
there is a need for secondary labels (or conversely primary labels),  
so we might want to borrow skos:prefLabel for cases where we need  
this. Still, I would have that be redundant with rdfs:label.

Course there is a problem with, e.g. multiple synonyms - how does one  
choose the rdfs:label to use in display if there are so many that are  
not distinguished?
