RE: [Proposal][SKOS-Core] revised proposal for subject indicators

I think there is enough consensus here to support the addition to SKOS Core
of a 'skos:subjectIndicator' property, and an inverse-functional property,
and defined in relation to OASIS specs.

In addition, I do think there are some more general semantics which could
valuably be captured by a property such as the described 'skos:resolveTo'
below, as a super-property of 'skos:subjectIndicator'.  However, I think
this needs a bit more discussion.

Therefore I propose to add a 'skos:subjectIndicator' property to SKOS Core
immediately, and we can always add a super-property later on after further
discussion.

Yours,

Alistair.
