I think this is a good approach. Therefore, I suggest renaming the top level property of SKOS-Mapping from 'mappingRelation' to 'semanticMapping'. This would mean that the top level property of SKOS-Core (intra-thesaurus) is 'semanticRelation' and the top level property of SKOS-Mapping (inter-thesaurus) is 'semanticMapping', consistent with the BS convention.
