ISSUE-68: RelatedIrreflexive http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/68 Raised by: Alistair Miles On product: SKOS Currently, skos:related is *not* defined as an irreflexive property. Therefore, graphs such as: <A> skos:related <A> . ... are consistent with the SKOS data model. However, such a graph would never be found in a representation of a thesaurus or classification scheme, and if it did, would probably indicate some sort of error. If skos:related were formally defined as an irreflexive property in the normative specification, this would endorse stronger checking of instance data against the SKOS data model, which would probably be both useful and appropriate to most SKOS use cases. Should skos:related be normatively irreflexive?
