Re: SKOS Consistency

Hello Quentin,

This issue is addressed in part when I raised the possibility of
dynamic inference skos: hasTopConcept here:
<http://old.nabble.com/Dinamic-hasTopConcept-property-to26628730.html#a26628730>

I am currently developing a thesaurus management software based on
SKOS and have come to the conclusion that the property must be
explicitly declared. My opinion is based on the subsequent operation
of schemes of concepts through Endpoints> <RDF using SPARQL.

In this sense I think the management application must provide a
maintenance operation that allows the inference of skos: hasTopConcept
to allow more flexible management of a concept scheme.

Regards
