RE: [SKOS] A new proposal for ISSUE-39 ConceptualMappingLinks

Hi Antoine,

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, the second bit about hierarchy of mapping relationship, was not
related to Alasdair's proposal... was just something that I noticed...

Thanks

Hi Margherita,

But I have put the mapping relations in [3] for this purpose! Have I 
said the contrary somewhere?
I'm just saying that for certain situations -- which are not about 
mapping, but extension -- we can use semantic relations (broader etc) 
between different schemes as well. But that does not say that 
skos:braoder will be used for mapping.

Could you please clarify? I don't see why [3] contradicts Alasdair's 
proposal

Well actually I had exactly the same thought, except that my thinking 
better to this did not bring obvious conclusions ;-) Hence my marking 
these axioms as controversial in [3].

It does! (except for the second bit about comparing Alasdair's proposal 
and mine, which is unclear for me, sorry...)

Cheers,
