Instead of: """They have as their ranges [RDF-CONCEPTS] RDF plain literals, which means that they link a skos:Concept to a character string, not to another full-fledged RDF resource identified with a URI.""" I suggest: """They are used to link a skos:Concept to an RDF plain literal, which is a character string (e.g. "love") combined with a language tag (e.g. "en-US").""" Avoiding any difficult wording.

I wanted in fact to say the same thing that you did in your point. Except that literals are technically RDF resources... Anyway, your text proposal is good in that respect. > > Antoine > -- Alistair Miles Senior Computing Officer Image Bioinformatics Research Group Department of Zoology The Tinbergen Building University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3PS United Kingdom Web: http://purl.org/net/aliman Email: alistair.miles@zoo.ox.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)1865 281993
