RE: Hierarchical relationships

Hi Antoine,

Thanks for the info. Would ex:broaderGeneric rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:broaderTransitive be not more appropriate though? But I think that properties linked by rdfs:subPropertyOf do not inherit transitivity.

Cheers,

Quentin

Hi Quentin,

Does the section 4.7 of the Primer [1] answers your need?

I remember the working group discussing this issue sometime ago and it was decided that such relations would not be included in the SKOS reference and primer. I do agree with this stance, but it would be useful to have something in Appendix A. SKOS eXtension for Labels (XL) describing how this could be achieved.
