Hi Alistair, I guess you should have waited other issues to be closed before raising this one ;-) > 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? > I would say yes, and propose the following resolution to the WG: RESOLUTION: skos:related is irreflexive Cheers, Antoine > > > >
