Extending SKOS Core

Because SKOS Core is an RDF vocabulary, it can be extended. This means you can create more specific classes and properties to describe your concept scheme, but still have a description that is compatible with other SKOS descriptions.

An RDF vocabulary is extended by declaring new RDF classes and/or properties, and linking them to classes/properties in the parent vocabulary via rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf.

The sections below illustrate how this can be done, to satisfy some common requirements.
