SKOSPrimer Editors' Draft 20090817

Hi Ed, Ralph, all,

A new editor's draft of the Primer is available at [1], which should take into account the latest changes in the Reference as resolved per [2]. Changes are listed below.

According to the last telecon minutes, I was to provide it for today 17, so that Ralph could prepare it for tomorrow. I trust it is ok as such, but it would still be great if Ed and/or someone else from the WG had an opportunity for a last check before Ralph publishes it later today!

Cheers

Antoine

== In Sect. 4.6 "Notations".
In such cases, it is possible to use one SKOS labeling property, for instance skos:prefLabel, in combination with private use language tags (or subtags) as defined by RFC 4646 [RFC4646]. This pattern was first proposed for a list of coded countries [COUNTRYCODES-SKOS] from which the following example is adapted: 
iso3166:FR skos:prefLabel "France"@en ;
  skos:prefLabel "FRA"@en-x-notation-threeletter ;
  skos:prefLabel "250"@x-notation-numerical.
Note that it is unlikely that notations represented in such a manner will benefit from notation-specific mechanisms (such as display procedures) in SKOS tools. This would indeed require different actors to agree on the use of shared subtags, which conflicts with these being defined as "private". By default, users should expect these notations to be treated, in accordance with the SKOS model, as mere labels.

In such cases, it is possible to use one SKOS labeling property, for instance skos:prefLabel, without any language tag, as in:
ex:udc512 skos:prefLabel "Algebra"@en ;
  skos:notation "512"^^ex:UDCNotation ;
  skos:prefLabel "512" .
Note that it is unlikely that notations represented in such a manner will benefit from notation-specific mechanisms (such as display procedures) in SKOS tools. By default, users should expect these notations to be treated, in accordance with the SKOS model, as mere labels.
