Hi all, I was describing SKOS yesterday to several colleagues. After a long discussion, we found that skos:narrower and skos:broader could be confusing to the user. In SKOS Core [1], the meaning of these properties is similar to concept A has a broader term called concept B (i.e. A skos:broader B). In the example, animal is considered to have a narrower concept called mammals. However, my initial interpretation of the property was to say that concept A is narrower than concept B.
