SKOS Primer/ISSUE 36

I'm just catching up on some of the SKOS materials and I see that  
ISSUE 36 was closed last week. I'm ok with the resolution -- I think  
there isn't really an ideal solution to this that would fully please  
me :-) given the inexpressivity of RDF. However, I wonder if there  
should be some reference to this in the Primer (I'm citing version of  
24/1/08).

Section 2.5 Concept Schemes describes how skos:inScheme can be used  
to link concepts to concept schemes, but   is silent on whether the  
broader/narrower relationships are "in" the scheme. There is a comment:

[[Finally, for providing an efficient access to broader/narrower  
concept hierarchies, SKOS coins a skos:hasTopConcept property. ]]

but this is not quite the same thing. I suggest there should be some  
explicit text in here covering the resolution to ISSUE 36.

Cheers,

	Sean
