Antoine, I know that in many cases you could retrieve the "original" skos:broader statements from skos:broaderTransitive one. But: - this would require an algorithm which is not so trivial - in some cases, the assumptions on which such an algorithm would typically rely on are in fact wrong. These cases are very rare, but still... Earlier in this thread I was surprised to read suggestions that skos:broader might be inferred from skos:broaderTransitive, and you have cast some doubt this possibility. May I suggest that such algorithms would typically rely on mono-hierarchical relationships? There are many vocabularies with polyhierarchies and it would be impractical (impossible?) to programmatically reconstruct skos:broader from skos:broaderTransitive in those projects.
