If you agree with Jutta's presentation, then iso-thes:broaderTransitive is skos:broaderTransitive "DONE RIGHT". By "people in the know" I mean "people who understand the intricacies of BT and know some thesauri use BTI but it should not be used for query expansion". > If data consumers want to get a view of all (transitive closure of) BTG and BTP, > then they can just SPAQRL for the statement of both > (transitive super-properties of) BTG and BTP at once If iso-thes:broaderTransitive is the right property to use for query expansion, that's enough justification to have it.
