   Guus: I've started this, hope to post a draft response by the end of
   the week
   ... a short summary of my comments: (a) the number of additional
   features provided is useful for characterizing SKOS properties
   ... (b) none of the documents are really accessible to a typical
   SKOS reader
   ... (c) the documents appear to be very biased toward the -DL
   version of the language

   Ralph: I would concur with all three

   Alistair: me too

   <TomB> +1 on Guus's comments

"Standard" vs. mapping relationships in Primer

   -> [34]"Mapping" vs "standard" relationships [Tom 2009-01-13] start
   of thread

     [34] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Jan/0048.html

   <TomB> [35]Antoine's message on 27 January

     [35] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Jan/0077.html

   Antoine: it's still difficult to evaluate; the discussion is around
   one sentence
   ... whether to keep or remove or change this sentence
   ... the discussion is still ongoing
   ... but the conclusion will be easy to write once we agree

   Tom: the Primer currently in queue to be published seems to
   recommend the use of mapping relationships when enriching a
   vocabulary
   ... the minimal approach taken in SKOS Reference makes a simpler
   distinction; it says only that you should use standard relationships
   when talking about relationships within a concept scheme and mapping
   relationships between schemes
   ... the current editor's draft of the Primer suggests using mapping
   relationships when someone other than the owner is making
   relationships within a concept scheme
   ... this appears to me to be a bit of an inconsistency
   ... for the next version of the Primer it would be good to decide
   this
   ... "enrichment within a concept scheme" is one suggestion
   ... I would accept a minimum solution
   ... if Antoine's point could be articulated in a way to satisfy
   everyone, I see some value in it

   Ed: what's the one sentence?

   <TomB> [36]SWD/SKOS/primer/primer-20090113

     [36] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/primer/primer-20090113.html

   Antoine: the discussion started with a sentence about enrichment

   Tom: see end of [37]section 3.1
   ... "However, the use of mapping properties might also be
   appropriate in cases where someone other than its owner needs to
   enrich the semantic relationships within a particular concept
   scheme."
   ... the question is whether this goes beyond what SKOS Reference
   says

     [37] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/primer/primer-20090113.html#secmapping

   Guus: what would be the problem in deleting the sentence?

   <aliman> Key section from SKOS Reference, [38]section 10.6.1.
   Mapping Properties, Semantic Relation Properties and Concept
   Schemes, """By convention, the SKOS mapping properties are only used
   to link concepts in different concept schemes."""

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

   Guus: we could see what practices are adopted
   ... this doesn't sound like a necessary statement for a Primer
   ... but could agree that this sort of hint is not appropriate for a
   Primer
   ... it's not a strong hint anyway; I'd feel more comfortable
   removing it.
   ... if we had more time, I'd hope the document would be shorter :)
   ... would dropping this sentence remove the problem?

   Alistair: think so

   Tom: looking at the preceeding sentence ...
   ... the paragraph before isn't necessarily the best wording but I
   don't have anything better to suggest right now

   Guus: I suggest we drop the 'However ...' sentence from the Primer

   Antoine: OK with me

   Alistair: OK to drop

   Tom: OK to drop

   ACTION: SKOS Editors drop "However, the use of mapping properties
   might..." sentence from the primer section 3.1 [recorded in
   [39]http://www.w3.org/2009/01/27-swd-minutes.html#action10]
