- Description:
Raised by Al Gilman on behalf of PFWG in [1]: """ Re Appendix A.2. The skosxl:Label Class The new “label framework” goes in the right direction, but does not go far enough. The skos:hiddenLabel property is considered to be useful for accessibility-related use cases (where misspellings may occur). The new properties skos:prefLabel and skos:altLabel conflict with dc:title. In fact, these properties co-exist in examples of the SKOS reference. Guidance is missing as to when to use the skos-defined label properties, and when to use dc:title. The label framework should explicitly cater for non-textual labels in image, audio or video format, and as provided in other markup languages such as MathML. Labels in other modalities may serve as alternate labels in accessibility-related use cases. SKOS should provide guidance as to how to provide images, audio and video content as alternate labels. Currently, icons are being standardized as representing concepts in an upcoming multi-part standard ISO/IEC 11581, developed by ISO/IEC JTC1 SC35. SKOS should be able to specify these icons as part of a knowledge organization system. Also, the most common label relationships should be pre-defined by SKOS. This should include: skos:acronym, skos:pronunciation. """ [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Oct/0063.html

2008-11-10: RESOLUTION: We recognise these are important requirements, and would like to do all we can to help develop common solutions. We have considered expanding the scope of the current work to include standardised support for labels in other modalities (see e.g. [ISSUE-76]), however we have to balance the time this would take against the benefit to the community of having a more limited SKOS standard sooner. We are, however, committed to ensuring that SKOS is a sound basis for 3rd party extensions, to meet a diversity of more specialised requirements. We believe the XL framework, as currently specified, can serve as a basis for extensions that support labeling in a variety of modalities, and extensions that support a variety of label relationships, and would be happy to provide support and suggestions to the PFWG in the development of such extensions. We therefore propose to postpone this issue, making no change to the current specification. Are you able to live with this?
