[Action][SKOS-Core] Update to some term definitions and comments

I've made a number of small changes to the definitions and comments of some
of the SKOS Core terms. These changes have been made mainly to refine the
meaning and scope of these terms, and to bring them in line with the current
development of the SKOS Core Guide.  SKOS Core Guide and Spec currently at
internal review stage within the SWBPD-WG.  Hope to be able to announce both
the spec and the guide for public review early in new year.  If anyone has
any comments in the mean time, would love to hear them.

The CVS change log reporting these changes is reproduced below.

----------------------------
revision 1.36
date: 2004/12/17 13:43:58; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +11 -3
Change to skos:related - Changed the definition to mention 'associative
relationships', because previous definition too broad, and also to bring in
line with BS8723 definition of 'associative relationships'.
----------------------------
revision 1.35
date: 2004/12/17 13:37:39; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +8 -2
Change to skos:OrderedCollection - The text 'where both the grouping and the
ordering are meaningful' added to the definition.
----------------------------
revision 1.34
date: 2004/12/17 13:34:05; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +9 -1
Change to skos:ConceptScheme - Reworked the definition, in line with new
guide. Concept scheme now defined as 'a *description* of a set of concepts,
which may include a description of relationships between those concepts'.
This change made to make explicit the fact that semantic relationships
between concepts may be part of a concept scheme. Also expresses modelling
concept scheme as an information resource (hence the 'description' word
added).
----------------------------
revision 1.33
date: 2004/12/17 13:28:08; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +8 -1
Change to skos:Concept - Removed the comment about inferring the meaning of
a resource of type skos:Concept, because it was misleading (move to
intentional model, where properties of a concept *explain* the meaning of
the concept, but do not determine it. This allows for clearer modelling of
concepts in multiple schemes).
----------------------------
revision 1.32
date: 2004/12/17 13:23:26; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +10 -1
Changes to skos:Collection - The word 'meaningful' added to the definition;
small change to the comment to make it clearer.
