Re: [Dbpedia-discussion] Using DBpedia resources as skos:Concepts?

Hi Ross, Bernard,

I'm also puzzled by the Umbel linksEntity. From the definition of umbel:isAbout (the inverse of umbel:linksEntity, which is not really defined) in [1]
> This property is therefore used to create a topical assertion between an individual and a subject concept.

This "topical" and the "about" in the name rather point at something which would be closer to the dc:subject property. Which I think does not fully capture the issue at hand.
