The intended directionality of skos:broader (and skos:narrower, etc.) is unclear in the SKOS Reference. When I write :a skos:broader :b . Is this supposed to mean ":a is broader than :b"? Or ":b is broader than :a"? I imagine the directionality is somewhere stated, but in searching throught the SKOS Reference for several minutes I was unable to find it in the obvious places, such as the section on skos:broader: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#broader or in Section 7 on its semantics: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#L2055 or even in the examples: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#L2157 I think a statement needs to be added somewhere, even if it is merely in the example, saying something like: [[ :a skos:broader :b . indicates that :b is a broader concept than :a. ]] David Booth, Ph.D. HP Software +1 617 629 8881 office | dbooth@hp.com http://www.hp.com/go/software Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not represent the official views of HP unless explicitly stated otherwise.Received on Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:57:46 GMT
