RE: revisions and change in skos

For point 2. I would suggest:
 
-  leave 'concept a' as deprecated. Its uri will remain but some status
should be set as deprecated. No URI can be eliminated.
- assign a new uri to concept 'b' and keep 'a' as non preferred label for it.
 
Hope this helps,
Regards
Margherita

 Subject: revisions and change in skos
 
 


 Dear list members
 
 The background to my questions is that we are currently considering
 developing a
 'SKOS resolver' (for want of a better description) for our
 terminology management solution to sit alongside the other formats we
 currently implement.
 
 This has however thrown up some questions.
 
 As part of this requirement we (ideally)need to:
 1 Expose versioning information
 2 Allow identification of terminology changes between versions
 
 As these are parts of our existing solution which are already exposed
using
 other formats.
 
 So...
 
 1. How should we expose versioning information given that uri's for
   concepts are fixed (please don’t say timestamps on
   uri's :))
 
 2. How should we identify and manage change between revisions of
concept
 schemes as this 'seems' to result in imprecision.
    e.g. a concept 'a' is currently in thes 'A' and only has a
preferred
 label. A new revision of thes 'A' is published and what was concept
'a'
    is now a non preferred concept and thus becomes simply a non
preferred
 label
    for a new concept 'b'.
 
    It seems to me that this operation loses some
    of the semantic meaning of the change as all references to the
    concept id of 'concept a' would be lost as it now is only a non
preferred
 
    label of a different concept with a different id (concept 'b').
 
 Any comments would be much appreciated.
 
 Best Regards
 
 Rob
