Introduction

Here are some rough informal mappings from various “authority data” perspectives to a SKOS perspective.

Mapping Traditional Terms

Traditional Term SKOS/XL Alternative Note
Authority File skos:ConceptScheme or skos:Collection
Authority Record skos:Concept You can think of the skos:Concept as a controllable "surrogate" for the Primary Entity (owl:Thing).
Heading skosxl:Label
Established Heading skos:prefLabel or skosxl:prefLabel
Variant Heading skos:altLabel or skosxl:altLabel
Primary Entity owl:Thing This is the thing the authority record labels/names/describes. foaf:focus can be used to relate the skos:Concept to the owl:Thing.
