Re: gender: Why does vCard Ontology define class hierarchy instead of skos:Concept resources ?

I don't really understand the subclass tree either.
(Pardon the silly neebie question)
If I understood well the subclass concept, this means that every
vcard:Female instance is a vcard:Gender instance.

Does this mean Female is a singleton class with a single gender code as
instance ?
