RE: [SKOS] A new proposal for ISSUE-39 ConceptualMappingLinks

Hi Antoine,

I have seen this reply only now... I am checking up with all emails...

I wonder why we cannot apply also the mapping relations between concept
schemes? 

I went to the [3] page and I still think the proposal from Alasdair was more
correct for me.

In [3] I just notice this, but I do not think this is true (antough I may
need to think better to this):

  skos:exactMatch rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:broadMatch.
  skos:exactMatch rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:narrowMatch.
  skos:broadMatch rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:overlappingMatch.

Hope this helps
Margherita

Actually no! This is loose wording from me. I should have emphasized 
that the standard semantic relationship (skos:broader etc) are 
*typically* intra-thesaurus, while the mapping links are *typically* 
inter-thesaurus. Actually, I do think we might need skos:broader to 
apply between concept from different schemes for very specific 
situations like concept scheme (controlled) extension.
But I think this is still not settled in the WG, and it was not my aim 
in [3] to make a decision about this. I'll try to remove the 
controversial text...

Indeed the very last part of [3] mentions this problem of mapping 
instances of skos:Concept to something else.
Side comment: I don't see why collection would become anonymous nodes: 
[4] still say that they are of type skos:Collection, for instance...

Cheers,

Antoine
