ISSUE-150: Last Call Comment: Subsumption hierarchies http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/150 Raised by: Alistair Miles On product: SKOS Raised by Erik Hennum in [1]: """ We've had a need to distinguish subsumptive relations (for which we currently use the SKOS broaderGeneric / narrowerGeneric extension) from broader relations where the broader concept is not fully subsumptive. For instance, there is consensus in our target audience that the concept of Linux subsumes the concept of RedHat Linux. By contrast, the High Availability concept subsumes the overall purpose but not the operational tasks associated with the Disaster Recovery concept. (In passing, subsumption relations seem much more common between proper-noun concepts than between general concepts.) The distinction is important because subsumption is much more reliable for qualifying content during search applications (and can be treated as strongly transitive). Has the committee considered carrying forward this experimental distinction from the previous version of SKOS as an optional subproperty of broader / narrower?
