RE: SKOS for schema.org proposal for discussion

Yes, ten times Yes, a hundred times Yes.

As I said in an earlier mail why should it be future proposals to find better names if they can't fit Concept.

Call me crazy, but I presume the folks who designed SKOS already had a discussion like this, isn't it therefore a bit strange to have the same discussion all over again. Looking at all the existing documentation (which refers to 'Concept') there is, wouldn't it make the general developer's life a lot easier if the naming stays the same?

That way there are a lot of resources one can use, instead of yet another property which more or less does the same. In my opinion that would only add to the confusion.

Dan, Stéphane,

I am less than the average developer... I don't even know javascript.  But I do know about general classification, having worked in a library.

After reading about SKOS Concept, I was immediately aware that I would have 2 basic important properties that I cared about and that I could use... Broader & Narrower.

It does not HAVE to be called SkosConcept... but as long as the definition shows it's origin and that Broader & Narrower among others, are part of the bargain, then I think all web developers will easily comprehend what you mean and what neat interconnections they can bring to expand knowledge and organize directed Search queries even more.

+1 for EnumConcept and I also saw the tie in to http://schema.org/Enumeration  ( "Named" does not help signify that basic "organization" feeling that SKOS is all about....Knowledge Organization.... but Enumeration or Enum does.)
