[I just want to check if the following assumptions are generally acceptible . If 5 is ok, it makes some arguments easier ] A Concept in SKOS represents "a unit of thought [..] combining some or all of the characteristics of a concrete or abstract, real or imaginary object." (Z39.19, p. 4) Concepts are represented in textual forms by indexing terms. (Z39.19, p. 6). indexing is the process of assigning indexing terms to content objects (Z39.19 p6). Content objects are things which convey information/data. (Z39.19, p. 4). The extension of a concept is the set of all content objects which (are? could be?) indexed with indexing terms corresponding to that concept.
