- Description:
From http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/2008Mar/0005.html ... --- So consider an OWL ontology called ONT1, it contains the following instances. ex1:csA rdf:type skos:ConceptScheme ex1:csB rdf:type skos:ConceptScheme I also have an Ontology called ONT2 that conatins: ex2:csC rdf:type skos:ConceptScheme ex2:csC owl:imports ex1:csA What should I expect to get imported into ONT2. I get two different results depending on how I interpret skos:ConceptSchema (i.e as a owl:Class or an owl:Ontology - If I am correct it is consistent in SKOS to do both) 1) ONT2 imports only the concepts that are in concept scheme csA? (which is what I want to happen) 2) ONT2 imports all of ONT1? (which is how it could be interpreted because of the semantics of owl:imports) If owl:imports is to be used with concept schemes then why not always treat concept schemes to be the same as owl:Ontologies? Was the possibility of a skos:imports ever discussed by the working group?
