RE: [Requirementl][SKOS-Core] Collections

There's another usage scenario for collections ...

(3) In change management, to express replacement of a concept by a
combination or choice of concepts ...

DCTerms vocab has this useful looking property pair dct:replaces /
dct:isReplacedBy
 - we could use a collection to say something like 'concept A is replaced by
either (concept B or concept C)' and 'concept D is replaced by both(concept
E and concept F)' ... which would then allow us to write tools to
semi-automate the update of a metadata repository when a new version of a
subject scheme is released.
