Domain of skos:inScheme Note that no domain is stated for the property skos:inScheme. I.e. the domain is effectively the class of all resources (rdfs:Resource). The decision not to state any domain has been made to provide some flexibility, enabling extensions to SKOS to define new classes of resource but still use skos:inScheme to link them to a skos:ConceptScheme. See also Example 84 below. """ Also note that example 84 in section A.2.4.2 illustrates the use of skos:inScheme with skosxl:Label. Does this satisfy your concerns?
