[SKOS] Comments on SKOS Primer

Ed, Antoine,

I have reviewed the 16 December version of the SKOS Primer [1].
When in doubt, I consulted the SKOS Reference at [3].

Basically, the Primer is in great shape - congratulations
to the authors for a fine piece of work with lots of nice
examples!  

As agreed with Ed and Antoine, I made numerous small editorial
changes, saved the new version as [2], and attach a diff
output (below) with commentary.

Most of those changes I made are very minor.  The "minor
editorial changes" include the following:

-- Changed spelling of "modeling" and "labeling" (instead of
   "modelling" and "labelling") for consistency with SKOS
   Reference.

-- Corrected references to consistently cite exact versions (e.g.,
   RDF Primer of 10 February 2004); in all cases the "latest
   versions" were already listed correctly.

Beyond the things that could easily be fixed, I noted several
more substantive issues:

-- I could not review Figures 4.5.1 and 4.5.2, which did not
   properly display in my browser.

-- The links for the ISO 2788 and ISO 5964 references are broken.

-- I noted the stylistic use of "you" in addressing the reader in
   several places, as in "it allows you to link...".  I have no
   objections but wanted to check whether this is in accordance
   with W3C style guidelines.  Ralph, do you happen to know?

-- The Primer uses the http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
   namespace and cites http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.
   I suggest using the http://purl.org/dc/terms/ namespace and
   citing http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/ (a large
   Web document which also documents the /1.1/ namespace).

   This would mean either mapping dc: to /dc/terms/ (in Section
   1.1) or introducing a second namespace, such as dct:, as in
   dct:subject.  Note that dct:title and dct:date have literal
   ranges, and dct:subject and dct:creator have non-literal
   ranges, so all of the existing examples would still be
   correct (e.g., X dc:subject ex1:platypus) except for one:

        X ex:madagascarFishEagle dc:creator "John smith".

   Using http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator, which has no
   range, this example is not incorrect.  Indeed, it is not at
   all incorrect to use /1.1/ terms for all of the examples,
   as they currently are.  The point is that DCMI is gently
   promoting the use of the dct: equivalents of the fifteen
   elements because of their formal ranges.

   The example above could either be changed to use dct:creator
   with a blank node and foaf:name, or it could remain as is
   (dc:creator) with the addition of the /dc/terms/ namespace for
   dct:subject, etc.  Or, of course, it would not be incorrect
   to leave the examples as they are, using the /elements/1.1/
   namespace throughout.

-- Section 4.2 uses the notion of a "structured RDF value".
   I feel ambivalent as to whether the phrase "structured
   value" is helpful.  I note that a Google search on the
   exact phrase "structured RDF value" (in quotes) yields
   only one hit -- the RDF Primer, and a search on RDF and
   structured and value yields mostly material from 2004 or
   before.  If we use it here, we would effectively resurrect
   its use.  Do we really want to do this, or are there other
   ways of expressing this that are more up-to-date?

   I note that use of the phrase "structured value" is
   orthogonal to the question of whether or not to use
   rdf:value.

-- In section 4.3, it looks like a mistake to say:

        ex:FAO rdf:type skos:Concept;
          skos:prefLabel ex:FAOlabel1; 
          skos:altLabel ex:FAOlabel2.
        ex:FAOlabel2 skos-xl:labelRelation ex:FAOlabel1.

    so I went ahead and changed this to use skos-xl:

        ex:FAO rdf:type skos:Concept;
          skos-xl:prefLabel ex:FAOlabel1; 
          skos-xl:altLabel ex:FAOlabel2.
        ex:FAOlabel2 skos-xl:labelRelation ex:FAOlabel1.

-- I am slightly uneasy with various references in the text
   to "SKOS semantics" (e.g., 2.2.1) given that SKOS Reference
   does not itself use this phrase.  SKOS Reference always
   refers to the "SKOS data model", and SKOS does not have
   its own "semantics" specification in the way that RDF has
   "RDF Semantics".

-- The wording of

    They have as their ranges [RDF-CONCEPTS] RDF plain literals,
    which means that they link a skos:Concept to a character
    string, not to another full-fledged RDF resource identified
    with a URI.

   does not allow for the possibility of linking to a blank node.

-- I was just wondering whether we have evidence that the following
   use is really the "most common"...?

     The most common use of hidden labels is to
     include misspelled variants of other lexical labels.

-- With regard to notations (Section 4.6)

        These are language-independent symbols, designed to allow
        an easy re-use of the whole vocabulary in different
        languages. They are typically composed of digits,
        complemented with punctuation signs and other characters,
        as in the following UDC example:

   The wording seems to imply that notations are
   "language-independent" by _definition_, not just
   _typically_.  It seems a bit stronger than the SKOS Reference
   formulation that notions are "not normally recognizable
   as a word or sequence of words in any natural language" [*].

   [*] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20081001/#notations

-- I wasn't sure about the word "treatments" in the following:

    This approach can be especially useful if a KOS publisher
    wants to provide users with treatments that are specific to
    the KOS's notation scheme.
   
   Does this mean specifications? interpretations? processing rules?

-- The Example in section 5.1 says:

    <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> rdf:type foaf:Person;
      foaf:name "Timothy Berners-Lee";
      rdfs:label "Tim Berners-Lee";
      skos:prefLabel "Tim Berners-Lee"@en.</code></pre>

   While not incorrect, the example seems redundant because
   rdfs:label is a superproperty both of skos:prefLabel and
   (as the text says) foaf:name - which as a reader I find 
   slightly confusing.

-- I'm not sure the following is phrased quite right (Section 3.1):

        Had the concepts been assigned other information, such
        as semantic relationships to other concepts, or notes,
        these would be merged as well, resulting in completely
        new conceptual entities.

   The idea is not that some new entity would be _created_
   by merging asserted semantic relationships from multiple
   sources (which is implied by "resulting in new... entities")
   but that the _existing_ entity would in effect be overlaid
   with different associations and thus would acquire
   conceptually new meanings.  Maybe there's a better way to
   put this?

-- I find the following sentence in Section 3.2 to be unclear:

    For example, a SKOS publisher can choose to locally extend
    an existing concept scheme, and then publish the extension
    with the linkages intact.
  
   What does "publish the extension" mean, and what "linkages"
   are remaining intact?

-- With regard to mapping properties, instead of

    Instead, their motivation is expected to be tightly related
    to a specific application that requires them to cope,
    say, with conceptual redundancy resulting from several
    KOSs coexisting.

   I suggest:

    Mapping properties are expected to be useful in applications
    that use multiple, conceptually overlapping KOSs.

-- The second sentence in the following is not very clear (and is not
   a complete sentence):

        By convention, mapping relationships are also expected
        to be asserted between concepts that belong to
        different concept schemes. Although specific scenarios
        (such as enriching a concept scheme that lacks desired
        semantic structure) may sometimes necessitate create
        mappings within a scheme.

   If mappings within a scheme were needed, one would normally use semantic
   relation properties.  Is the point here that one might want to enrich
   _somebody else's_ concept scheme?

-- In Section 3.2, referring to the first example concept scheme as a
   "reference concept scheme" needlessly introduces a potential source
   of confusion (what is a "reference concept scheme"?) -- especially 
   when it talks about "referencing" the "reference ex1:cats concept".
   Calling them something like Concept Schemes A and B might be clearer.

-- The final sentence in the following is unclear:

    Finally, the reader should be aware that according to SKOS semantics, the
    mapping properties that "mirror" a given semantic relation property are also
    sub-properties of it in the RDFS sense. For instance,
    <code>skos:broadMatch</code> is a sub-property of <code>skos:broader</code>.
    Consequently, every assertion of <code>skos:broadMatch</code> between two
    concepts leads by inference to asserting a <code>skos:broader</code> between
    these concepts. With concept scheme extension discussed in the previous
    section, this is one of the situations where the SKOS basic semantic
    relationships defined in Section 2.2 can hold across different concept
    schemes.

   Looking back at the "previous section" I was unsure what this
   sentence is actually saying and suggest that it be reworded to
   make this explicit.

I note that the following still would need to be edited before
publication:

-- "Status of this Document"
-- "Acknowledgments"
-- A few in-line comments (<!-- ... -->).
-- Updated reference to SKOS Reference, when available
-- Remove @@ regarding exactMatch, etc.

Detailed changes (starting with the more significant and ending with the 
minor edits) follow below.
