Dear Thomas / all
thank you very much for all you input and your link to
http://francart.fr/traduction-francaise-skos/! Version 3 has begun.
I'd like to allow myself to structure as follows:
"Labels":
"Etiquette" is even in the corresponding Italian something to find
"usually" on a cloth giving the price, here nothing prevent me to state
that an Italian "etichetta" comes very close to "label" (indeed they
are the same thing as labels, adding a denotation to an object - and if
we see a concept as an object ...). Concerning ISO norms (where they do
essentially the same as in SKOS) e.g.
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_14000 people speak in Italian of
"etichetta/etichette" and of "etichettatura". On a French ISO page we
find e.g. in http://www.iso.org/iso/fr/catalogue_detail?csnumber=34425
people speaking as well of "étiquettes" or "étiquettage". So despite
the very valid hints so far I feel still quite unsure and need advice.
What is the procedure to make "libellè" or "étiquette" into the official
French SKOS translation?
"Concept schemes":
Concerning skos:conceptScheme and skos:inScheme (we have to consider
both - I think) - I find the description "aggregation/structure de
concepts" even for english (concept aggregation / concept structure)
maybe the better way of describing what skos:conceptScheme inside SKOS
should be ... Thank you very much for this suggestion. Accordingly to
that, skos:inScheme would take in French "dans l'aggregation/structure".
"More in general":
I need to say that I am are not seeking to "improve" the English SKOS
definition nor to completely rephrase them in the languages fr-it-de but
to provide conceptually valid SKOS translations which rely on the
original SKOS document. Doing this I have to risk using some "Anglicism"
in the national words with the benefit of "root closeness" to the
original description.
Anyone (French) adding her/his ideas here?
Kind regards / Meilleures salutations / Freundliche Grüsse
