Hi all, Just to say I've added this to the proposals list as 'collections-5': http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/proposals#collections-5 I've just described the problem with links to background material, I'll write up options for solution asap after second review is concluded.

I agree that concept and collection should be disjoint. In concept theory, a collection can be a descendent of a concept, and each item in the collection (which terminologists tend to think of as a set) is itself a concept, but the collection is just a way of containerizing these items that share a particular kind of relation to the initial concept.

"There is consensus that a 'node label' does not represent a label for a concept in its own right" --http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20050510/#seccollections and just below it I see a diagram wherein ex:milk skos:narrower [ rdf:type skos:Collection ]. and we have skos:narrower rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:semanticRelation, so that ex:milk skos:semanticRelation [ rdf:type skos:Collection ]. and and skos:semanticRelation rdfs:range skos:Concept so that ex:milk skos:semanticRelation [ rdf:type skos:Collection, skos:Concept ]. so the collection is a concept after all. Please fix this inconsistency between the example and the prose one way or another. I suggest keeping Collections and Concepts disjoint, and introducing a narrowerCollection property. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E -- Sue Ellen Wright Institute for Applied Linguistics Kent State University Kent OH 44242 USA sellenwright@gmail.com swright@kent.edu sewright@neo.rr.com
