[Bug 11537] New: [FT] Thesaurus relationships wrong

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11537

           Summary: [FT] Thesaurus relationships wrong
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Full Text 1.0 Use Cases
        AssignedTo: pcase@crs.loc.gov
        ReportedBy: paul@lucasmail.org
         QAContact: public-qt-comments@w3.org


The XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 specification in section 3.4.3 says in part:

> Relationships include, but are not limited to, the relationships and their abbreviations presented in [ISO 2788] and their equivalents in other languages.

and:

> hierarchical relationships: BROADER TERM (BT), NARROWER TERM (NT), BROADER TERM GENERIC (BTG), NARROWER TERM GENERIC (NTG), BROADER TERM PARTITIVE (BTP), NARROWER TERM PARTITIVE (NTP), TOP Terms (TT) ...

Note that all the relationships are singular (e.g., "narrower term" and not
"terms").  ISO 2788 section 4.1 also only specifies the relationships in
singular form.  Yet in the XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 Use Cases section
7.2.2, there is a query that uses "narrower terms" (plural form) for the
relationship.

An XQuery implementation can allow plural forms for relationships if wants, but
to have a plural form in a Use Case is wrong.
