Dear,
Neither of RDF-Schema or OWL seem to handle functional properties for
multilingual values very well.
Typically these could be used for skos:prefLabel.
(A prefLabel is desired to have cardinality 1,
but extensions to SKOS to realize this do not work out in a multilingual
KOS)
- Is this use case handled by SKOS ?
- is there an advised solution pattern ?
e.g. making language specific sub-properties of skos:prefLabel that do
have cardinality 1
(I do not like this because nothing prevents me making an
xx:prefLabel-en getting the value "dit is niet in de juiste
taal"@nl^^xsd:string)
- do we need to turn to inference rules to solve this ?
thanks for advice on handling this use-case.
Kind Regards,
Johan De Smedt
