Hello I'm getting my head around SKOS with a view to seeing how well we can represent UK public sector vocabularies hosted by esd.org.uk in SKOS and derive online viewers and other human and machine readable resources from the RDF. My initial question relates to whether or not SKOS supports what esd knows as "subsets". For example these two online viewers: - Subject vocabulary: http://www.esd.org.uk/standards/ipsv/viewer/ - Service vocabulary: http://www.esd.org.uk/standards/lgsl/viewer/ both feature drop down lists towards the top left of the page. From the drop-down list you can select a named "subset" which contains some of the concepts from the main list (eg you can limit UK local government services to those delivered in Scotland). I understand that the skos:inScheme property can be used to say a concept is in a particular ConceptScheme and this can be used many times to say the same concept is in many schemes. I can't say that one ConceptScheme is in another can I? Is there any sensible way I can support these subsets? Thanks in advance Mike
