Re: SKOS for schema.org proposal for discussion

Do you have pointers or references to these Knowledge Representation
systems where Concept is not the same as skos:Concept? Isn't that
considered an edge case? How popular are these compared to the regular use
of Concept (as in SKOS). Isn't that a caveat that there "related
communities" are aware of and could live with?
