RE: [SKOS] ISSUE-32 ConceptSchemeLabellingInteractions

Hi there,
Hummm don't think that should be different than preferredLabel... Maybe i was
not clear enough: the concepts mentioned below were different concepts with
same preferred label in one language (FR and ES).
 
My examples were the following:  
 
- I have one skos:concept which has english preferred label politics (EN),
and french preferred label is politique (FR)
- then I have another skos:concept which has english preferred label policies
(EN), and french preferred label is also politique (FR)
so in this case 2 concepts have same french preferred label...
In skos would be:
 
  <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc#c_6062">
    <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">Policies</skos:prefLabel>
    <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="fr">Politique</skos:prefLabel>
    <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="es">Políticas</skos:prefLabel>

  </skos:Concept>
 
So they have different NTs, RTs, etc.
 
Same with the other example in Spanish (even if I agree we should change the
spanish preferred label for the concept Dyes - In this case there is no
ambiguity).
 
But I asked here to my colleagues that work with Thai agrovoc. There are for
example 2 different concepts: "rice as a product" and "rice as a plant", but
in Thai they use exactly the same word to represent both concepts. Note that
the 2 concepts have different BTs, NTs...
The preferred terms they use for both concepts is " ข้าว " which can be
transliterlate as "Khao" for both concepts.
Also in English... how do we call them? maybe also in English in this case
the two concepts have preferred label "rice", no?
 
Hope this helps

Margherita

 The appropriate relation between those terms would be 
 "EnglishEquivalent" or some such, not "preferredLabel".
