Each term (i.e. class or property) of the SKOS Mapping vocabulary is summarised in this document as a table. Each table may have the following rows:
| Class or Property: | |
|---|---|
| URI: | The Universal Resource Identifier. |
| Label: | A human-readable label. |
| Definition: | An explanation of the meaning of a class or property. |
| Comment: | Additional information about meaning and/or proper use. |
| Example: | An example of the use of a class or property. |
| Status: | The status (stability level) of the class or property. |
| Issued: | Date on which the class or property was issued. |
| Modified: | Date on which the class or property was last modified. |
| Super-classes: | (Classes only) any declared super-classes. |
| Super-properties: | (Properties only) any declared super-properties. |
| Domain: | (Properties only) the declared domain for the property. |
| Range: | (Properties only) the declared range for the property. |
| Additional types: | (Properties only) any declared additional types (e.g. owl:TransitiveProperty) for the property. |
| Inverse of: | (Properties only) any declared inverse properties. |
| Replaces: | Any deprecated terms which the given term has replaced in recommended usage. |
| Version info: | A note about the modification and/or history of a class or property. |
| Replaced By: | (Deprecated terms only) the term to use instead of the deprecated term. |
| Deprecated: | (Deprecated terms only) the date of last modification (i.e. deprecation) of the term. |
SKOS Mapping is a living vocabulary, which means it may continue to evolve indefinitely.
Each term in the vocabulary has a term status level assigned. The status of a term indicates its level of stability, i.e. how much it may be expected to change in the future. The following status values are allowed:
A term may also be marked as deprecated, in which case instructions will be given on what to use in its place.
SKOS Mapping is maintained by an open community of developers, users, and domain experts. All development work is discussed via the public-esw-thes@w3.org mailling list. This mailing list is public, and anyone is free to subscribe and/or post mails. A public archive of the mailing list is also available online [PUBLIC-ESW-THES ARCHIVE].
Proposals for additions or modifications to SKOS Mapping may be made via the public-esw-thes@w3.org mailing list. These are reviewed by the members of the mailing list, and if a reasonable consensus is reached, an action is taken.
See the reference [SKOS DEVEL] for more information.
| Class:AND | |
|---|---|
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#AND |
| Label: | AND |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | This class is a shorthand for an intersection construct. So the statement 'concept A has-exact-match AND (concept B, concept C)' implies that the set of resources properly indexed against concept A is identical to the intersection of the sets properly indexed against concepts B and C. |
| Super-classes: | http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Bag |
| Status: | |
| Issued: | |
| Class:NOT | |
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#NOT |
| Label: | NOT |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | This class is a shorthand for a negation construct. So the statement 'concept A has-exact-match AND (concept B, NOT (concept C))' implies that the set of resources properly indexed against concept A is identical to the intersection of the set properly indexed against concept B and the complement of the set properly indexed against concept C. |
| Super-classes: | http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Bag |

| Issued: | |
| Class:OR | |
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#OR |
| Label: | OR |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | This class is a shorthand for a union construct. So the statement 'concept A has-exact-match OR (concept B, concept C)' implies that the set of resources properly indexed against concept A is identical to the union of the sets properly indexed against concepts B and C. |
| Super-classes: | http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Bag |

| Property:broadMatch | |
|---|---|
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#broadMatch |
| Label: | has-broad-match |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | If 'concept A has-broad-match concept B' then the set of resources properly indexed against concept A is a subset of the set of resources properly indexed against concept B. |
| Super-properties: |

| Property:exactMatch | |
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#exactMatch |
| Label: | has-exact-match |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | If two concepts are an 'exact-match' then the set of resources properly indexed against the first concept is identical to the set of resources properly indexed against the second. Therefore the two concepts may be interchanged in queries and subject-based indexes. |

| Property:majorMatch | |
| URI: | http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping#majorMatch |
| Label: | has-major-match |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | If 'concept A has-major-match concept B' then the set of resources properly indexed against concept A shares more than 50% of its members with the set of resources properly indexed against concept B. |

| Definition: | |

| Property:minorMatch | |

| Label: | has-minor-match |
| Definition: | |
| Comment: | If 'concept A has-minor-match concept B' then the set of resources properly indexed against concept A shares less than 50% but greater than 0 of its members with the set of resources properly indexed against concept B. |
