I know that traditional thesaurus practise demands that all preferred labels be unique within a scheme. But Chaals argued for relaxing this in SKOS (e.g. see [1]), and I think he has an interesting point. Hence the phrase 'strongly recommended' rather than 'essential'. Anybody else have any ideas on this? Al.
