Re: expressing simple bilingual word/phrase correspondences

Hi Danny,

SKOS allows multiple prefLabels as long as they are in different  
languages, hence:

<rdf:RDF
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:skos="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#">

   <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://www.example.com/concepts#magpie">
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">magpie</skos:prefLabel>
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="it">gazza</skos:prefLabel>
   </skos:Concept>
   <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://www.example.com/concepts#maid">
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">maid</skos:prefLabel>
     <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="it">signorina</skos:prefLabel>
   </skos:Concept>
   ...

</rdf:RDF>

should do what you want.

Cheers,
