One thing: it is not about what to tag (we can effectively tag 
anything). It is about how to link a meaning to a concept. Intuitively I 
would say that a meaning is linked to a concept (and not anything that 
is a resource).

The idea is not to use meaningURI and use skos:subject (or whatever the 
property) to link a meaning to its concept. Just thinking aloud in this 
conversation.


Take care,
