Although the SKOS core guide still talks about "information resources" in the relevant section [1], this seems to be a bug left from an earlier version of the guide. The domain of skos:subject, which once was foaf:Document, was deliberately dropped to allow to attach skos:subject to non-info resources as well. At least that's how I understand the change note for skos:subject: [[ The domain of this property changed to be unconstrained (was previously foaf:Document). The definition altered to reflect this (s/document/resource). ]] I'm not sure about directly linking persons to concepts, though. It sounds a bit odd in that case as "A concept that is a subject of the resource." would become "Philosophy is a subject of Wittgenstein" although it's arguably more the subject of his works and thoughts, or an interest/passion. But it may well be that SKOS is unconstrained enough to allow this sort of association. benjamin [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-skos-core-guide/#secindexing -- Benjamin Nowack Kruppstr. 100 45145 Essen, Germany http://www.bnode.org/
