As I recall it, the relevant SKOS constraint is that a pref label must be unique in a given language. Thus, the appropriate constraint is the one on cardinality (max 1), but it needs to take into account language tag. If one was to follow this line of thinking, in addition to regular cardinality constraints, there would need to be cardinality constraints within a language. Or may be Karen is thinking about having a constraint that two different resources can't have the same pref label in the same language. SKOS constraints are pretty specific. I think it would make sense for the SKOS community to define their own library of SKOS templates. Other communities with well defined vocabularies and specific data quality needs, could be encouraged to do the same.

For example, for the SKOS-related case, where you want to say that you cannot have two skos:prefLabels with the same value (including language code), a common instance example is: > > > <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="fr">sabliers</skos:prefLabel> > <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">sandglasses</skos:prefLabel> > <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="es">reloj de arena</skos:prefLabel> > <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="nl">zandlopers</skos:prefLabel> > > and more often having many more languages.
