I would think that the only place you would find a suitable *complete* description would be within a knowledge organisation scheme that had been compiled in accordance with the standards that you are using. Are you then just in the situation of borrowing elements from other KOSs - i.e. merging or mapping? >Such a 'skos:indicator' property would also provide an alternative to >resolvable URIs for concepts ... i.e. you can have a concept with a >non-resolvable URI, and if you are looking for a complete >(content-negotiable) description of that concept, you look up the >'indicator'. What could an "indicator" be if it pointed to a web resource but was not a URI? I thought that a URI was a general name for something that pointed to a web resource. I'm not sure what you mean by "content-negotiable".
