Hi folks I've a very specific use case of "labeling in context" for Geonames codes. Geonames feature codes are represented as skos concepts. (geonames:Code is a subclass of skos:Concept) See http://www.geonames.org/ontology Among those codes are the ones for administrative subdivisions of countries, defined in a standard way for all countries, for example : <geonames:Code rdf:about="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#A.ADM1"> <skos:definition xml:lang="en">a primary administrative division of a country, such as a state in the United States</core:definition> <skos:inScheme rdf:resource="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#A"/> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">first-order administrative division</core:prefLabel> </geonames:Code> I would like to represent the label of ADM1 in different countries, e.g., in France "Région" (in French), in Switzerland "Canton" (in French) or "Kanton" (in German), in Germany "Land" (in German) etc. Given that countries can be identified either by their ISO code, or Geonames id, ideas for how to do that?
