ISSUE-73: ExactMatchDisjoints http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/73 Raised by: Alistair Miles On product: SKOS Currently, the property skos:exactMatch is not stated as disjoint with any of the other concept mapping properties (or with any of the semantic relation properties). Therefore e.g. the graph below is consistent with the SKOS data model. <A> skos:exactMatch <B> ; skos:broadMatch <B> ; skos:exactMatch <C> ; skos:relatedMatch <C> . Intuitively, an exact mapping link asserts something fundamentally different from a hierarchical or associative link. Therefore, it might be reasonable and useful to define skos:exactMatch as disjoint with skos:broadMatch (and/or skos:broader), and disjoint with skos:relatedMatch (and/or skos:related). Should these disjointness conditions be stated in the normative specification?
