Hello everyone: I doubt arises regarding labeling practices of SKOS Conceptscheme. The most common practice is the labeling by dc: title. From my point of view might have to distinguish between the description of an action by a metadata schema (in this case Dublin Core) and the need for consistent Conceptscheme from the perspective of the SKOS model. In the latter case I think would be labeled by concepts prefLabel schemes, altLabel, and even hiddenLabel for and applications using SKOS data, to query a specific KOS, using these properties. DC labels should be limited to the description of a SKOS element in the environment of other data sets for other applications (such as a digital repository). In this regard, my analysis of most of the SKOS Dataset has led me to the conclusion (maybe I'm wrong) that for the most common practice to represent a KOS, normally used only one Conceptscheme. I have the feeling that this practice creates KOS too "monolithics", limiting their interoperability and reusability. Perhaps this is why normally used dc: title instead of SKOS properties to label Conceptscheme. What do you think? Greetings.
