Thanks for pointing me to your proposal. I merged the pages but there
are some differences between our approaches. I'd completely build upon
SKOS instead of using different classes and OWL:

<skos:Concept rdf:about='#zh'>
  <skos:prefLabel>zh</skos:prefLabel>
  <skos:altLabel>Chinese</skos:altLabel>
  <dc:date>2005-10-16</dc:date>
</skos:Concept>
<skos:Concept rdf:about='#Hant'>
  <skos:prefLabel>Hant</skos:prefLabel>
  <skos:altLabel>Han (Traditional variant)</skos:altLabel>
  <dc:date>2005-10-16</dc:date>
</skos:Concept>
<skos:Concept rdf:about='#HK'>
  <skos:prefLabel>HK</skos:prefLabel>
  <skos:altLabel>Hong Kong</skos:altLabel>
  <dc:date>2005-10-16</dc:date>
</skos:Concept>
<skos:Concept rdf:about='#zh-Hant'>
  <skos:prefLabel>zh-Hant</skos:prefLabel>
  <skos:altLabel>traditional Chinese</skos:altLabel>
  <dc:date>2003-05-30</dc:date>
  <skos:broader rdf:resource='#zh'/>
  <skos:broader rdf:resource='#Hant'/>
</skos:Concept>
<skos:Concept rdf:about='#zh-Hant-HK'>
  <skos:prefLabel>zh-Hant-HK</skos:prefLabel>
  <skos:altLabel>Hong Kong Chinese in traditional script</skos:altLabel>
  <dc:date>2005-04-11</dc:date>
  <skos:broader rdf:resource='#zh-Hant'/>
  <skos:broader rdf:resource='#HK'/>
</skos:Concept>

But as far as I understand this is no contradiction - my proposal may be
a less detailed subset of yours.

By the way I'd prefer to use skos:notation and/or skos:title and
skos:Coordination but these are not defined yet.

Greetings,
Jakob
