ISSUE-26 [1] RelationshipsBetweenLabels Considering that: - representing lexical labels as classes would lead to an undesirable complication of SKOS in straightforward use cases for the application of SKOS, - representing relationships between labels is required in some use cases, and therefore an escape mechanism should preferably be available for such thesauri, I propose the WG opts for an amended version of the second solution proposed in [2]: RESOLUTION The WG resolves to add the following classes and properties to the SKOS specification [3]: - the class skos:LabelRelation - the properties skos:labelRelationSubject and skos:labelRelationObject with domain LabelRelation and range rdfs:literal In addition, the SKOS Guide should describe guidelines for SKOS users to define their label relations as specializations of LabelRelation and gives examples of its intended usage. The SKOS specification refrains for now to predefine specializations of LabelRelation. Contrary to the proposal in [2] the class LabelRelation is not defined as a subclass of skos:Annotation (which is in any case not yet part of the spec), as it is not an "annotation", but a lexical relationship.
