As far as I know, SKOS is a format for representing knowledge organisation schemes. These schemes are usually independent of any specific resources which they may be used to organise, so I don't see that SKOS should be providing for records of resources. If you build a catalogue or database of resources, you make that searchable by adding indexing terms as metadata to each resource record. These terms may be copied into the catalogue record, or may take the form of links to a thesaurus or other knowledge organisation scheme, but I see this as being a function of the database, not something that is held in the KOS. We need to see the boundary between a scheme for organising knowledge concepts and a scheme for cataloguing "documents" or resources.
