Aida says, "More importantly - I think that presenting SKOS in the manner above is misleading and may give impression that SKOS is created on the ground common to all KOS - which is simply not the case. As far as I am aware SKOS is created around thesaurus structure and it would be better to say something as "SKOS core is best suited to be used for thesaurus"... and let people know that if they want to 'force' it to work with other alphabetical indexing languages or even classification schemes - this may not be so straightforward." - and I agree. Other KOS have subtle differences. The SKOS model works best for thesauri. People who want to interoperate between different types of KOS should take care to understand the differences. We're going to try to spell out the key factors in Part 3 of BS8723, but drafting it is not easy!
