I guess he would be very > happy with such a solution Yes that works for me. We did a similar thing at work (Ordnance Survey) for our Administrative Geography RDF. We has a property "hasName" which in turn has various subproperties "hasVernacularName", "hasOfficialName", "hasBoundaryLineName" etc. When I was producing the pub data I'd forgotten allow about SKOS...shame on me :) (I notice that foaf:name is a subproperty of rdfs:label as well.)
