Dear all,
I have the following problem: how to represent a KOS which contains organisms with scientific names and common names in SKOS?
example for plants: potatoes and "Solanum tuberosum", will these be 2 skos:concepts? NOTE: they may be both descriptors in the KOS, for indexing purposes. Both can have multiple non-descriptors...
[...]
OR
<skos:Concept rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc#potatoes"> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">potatoes</skos:prefLabel> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="LA">Solanum tuberosum</skos:prefLabel> </skos:Concept>
What if in the terminology i use both scientific name and common name are preferred and they are both marked in English? ... i cannot use 2 skos:prefLabel for same language...
Why not just declare fao:commonLabel and fao:scientificLabel as sub-properties of skos:prefLabel?
Something like:
<rdf:Property rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/commonLabel"> <rdfs:subPropertyof rdf:resource=" http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/> </rdf:Property>
<rdf:Property rdf:about=" http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/scientificLabel"> <rdfs:subPropertyof rdf:resource=" http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/> </rdf:Property>
If you can't have two prefLabels, you can't do this. This means that each time you say
x commonLabel foo y scientificLabel bar
You have inferred (because of what subPropertyOf means - see rdfs7 in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/)
x prefLabel foo y prefLabel bar
i.e. two values for prefLabel.
You can, however, have two altLabels.
