Hi,

I have looked at different aspects of SKOS and I have got a few questions as a result:

First of all, I was wondering if there was any reasoner available to create a thesaurus tree and find out all the different terms that are "broader/narrower" for a given term.

My understanding is that the "broader/narrower" relationship is transitive, i.e. if the user adds a term has being broader, this term would have the previous term as narrower without having to add the statement to the second term.

Languages often contain terms that are ambiguous and I was wondering how SKOS was dealing with this issue. For example, a term that has different definition will have "broader/narrower" terms depending on that definition.

Thanks,

Quentin
