There may be other uses like for (semi-)automated mapping and NLP. More
general: It would be a pity if some thesauri get two RDF versions, one
in SKOS and one in another schema for the stuff that did not fit into
SKOS. E.g. how to deal with sources that are annotated with the other
version but should be used together?

Would you have an idea on how often this relationship is used?
Cheers,
Mark.
