ISSUE-81: LabelRelationsNaming
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/81
Raised by: Thomas Baker
On product: SKOS

The draft SKOS Reference [1] very helpfully points out the
symmetry between mappingRelation (with its subproperties
broadMatch, narrowMatch, and relatedMatch) and semanticRelation
(with its subproperties broader, narrower, and related).
However, I find that this naming pattern subtly gets in the
way of grasping the much different concept of label relations.
The problem becomes clear if one puts the names side-by-side:
Properties: labelRelated mappingRelation semanticRelation
Classes: LabelRelation
I cannot think of a better name than LabelRelation, but I would
find it less confusing if labelRelated were renamed relatedLabel:
Properties: relatedLabel mappingRelation semanticRelation
Classes: LabelRelation
