Just reread this more carefully from Leonard: --- In most conventional thesauri, "related" relationships are treated as symmetric, even though more precise specification would recognise that many of them are directional, e.g. activity/agent, process/product, cause/effect and so on. If such a conventional thesaurus is encoded in SKOS format, should such relationships be shown as "skos:relatedSymmetric", that being the way they are treated, or should they be given the more general coding "skos:related", leaving the way open to refine the nature of the relationship in future? --- Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
