The draft SKOS Reference [1] very helpfully points out the symmetry between mappingRelation (with its subproperties broadMatch, narrowMatch, and relatedMatch) and semanticRelation (with its subproperties broader, narrower, and related). However, I find that this naming pattern subtly gets in the way of grasping the much different concept of label relations. The problem becomes clear if one puts the names side-by-side: Properties: labelRelated mappingRelation semanticRelation Classes: LabelRelation I cannot think of a better name than LabelRelation, but I would find it less confusing if labelRelated were renamed relatedLabel: Properties: relatedLabel mappingRelation semanticRelation Classes: LabelRelation Tom [1] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20071223 -- Tom Baker - tbaker@tbaker.de - baker@sub.uni-goettingen.deReceived on Tuesday, 8 January 2008 13:07:22 UTC
