>AJM said: Also I wasn't talking about identifying concepts in relation to *someone elses* indicators, although this would be a possibility [with the implication that (?x skos:indicator ?i) (?y skos:indicator ?i) -> (?x skos-map:exactMatch ?y)]. So I just realised that, if allowed to be used in this way, of course a 'skos:indicator' type property *should not* be an IFP. An alternative name has been suggested to me, something involving the word 'indicative' ... e.g. 'indicativeRepresentation' 'indicativeResource' ... just throwing ideas out, hoping to work towards a name that reflects well the intended usage.
