We propose to state the range of skos:member as the union of
skos:Concept and skos:Collection. We hope this will clarify the
intended use of the SKOS collections framework. Is this acceptable?

We have not encountered a requirement for an inverse of
skos:member. We propose to make no change, can you live with this?

Kind regards,
