Hello everyone, I am developing an application to manage concept schemes, based on SKOS. My question is about the hasTopConcept property. In my opinion this property should be generated dynamically (by inference) during the query of the concept scheme (only for viewing and browsing purposes). As indicated in SKOS-Reference: "The property skos: hasTopConcept is, by convention, used to link a concept to the SKOS concept scheme (s) which are topmost in the hierarchical relations for that scheme." That is, a Top concept would be a concept of a hierarchy that did not have any one broader concept. Therefore, It is not necessary to explicitly define a concept such as Top concept. Thus, the tasks of managing the scheme concept could be simplified. This interpretation would be correct? Regards -- Ph.D. Juan Antonio Pastor Sánchez Senior Lecturer - Dep.
