Why not just declare fao:commonLabel and fao:scientificLabel as sub-properties of skos:prefLabel? Something like: <rdf:Property rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/commonLabel"> <rdfs:subPropertyof rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/> </rdf:Property> <rdf:Property rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/scientificLabel"> <rdfs:subPropertyof rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/> </rdf:Property> Andy.
