But that's what skos:broaderTransitive is for? As a super-property of skos:broader it will always be inferred if you just declare a skos:broader relationship between two concepts, plus it's transitive. So if you want to find transitively broader concepts you query for skos:broaderTransitive but if you want directly declared relationships you just query for skos:broader. So not sure where your problem lies. Regards, Simon
