Hi Margherita,

OK, I don't know if this is very regular process, but you can have a 
look at http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SKOS/DraftPrimer

True! Reference is now changed.

Is it clearer if I remove the foaf:nick statement, which is indeed 
useless from the example?

Yes.

There could be an issue here. But this also concerns the Reference doc, 
in which this non-transitivity is specified. Are you OK if for the 
moment I add
[[
@@TODO: write an example@@
