For the (potentially) machine-readable label the info: URI scheme may offer a possible approach. http://info-uri.info It seems to me that mapping between the relationship definitions and a SKOS representation would have to be per-scheme, so it might make sense to keep the mapping separate from the naming. With info: you could assign (SKOS-opaque) URIs to the terms, then label & describe relationships using SKOS (the whole lot could perhaps be generated on the fly programmatically based on the existing sheme, but from the RDF/OWL viewpoint it'd all be declarative).
