Hi all, The comments below are based on my review [1] of the SKOS primer [2], but are quite relevant to this thread. 1. SKOS primer [2] describes that skos:broader and skos:narrower can be used to create links "between one whole and its parts". This representation would allow many different type of hierarchies to be created without formally defining these differences. In same applications, this would be totally acceptable. However, in some case could raise interoperability issues. I like the ideas suggested in [3] and [4], where sub-properties are created to represent different aspects. 2. I would agree with Margherita [5] to use skos:hasBroader and skos:hasNarrower to remove any confusion about the intended meaning of the property for people that are not used to convention in thesaurus circles (e.g. BS8723-2, para.8.3.1).
