Raised by Michael Schneider in [1]:

"""
Maybe I missed it, but I don't see what the domain is for skos:inScheme. I would
expect skos:Concept, but it's neither explicitly stated, nor do I see how it can
be inferred. If it's inferred, or if the domain is intended to be unrestricted,
something should be said in the "Notes" section below.

2008-11-10: CHANGE-TYPE: Editorial

2008-11-10: RESOLUTION: We propose to make an editorial change to the SKOS Reference, adding a note to the end of section 4 along the lines of: """ 4.6.5. Domain of skos:inScheme Note that no domain is stated for the property skos:inScheme. I.e. the domain is effectively the class of all resources (rdfs:Resource). The decision not to state any domain has been made to provide some flexibility, enabling extensions to SKOS to define new classes of resource but still use skos:inScheme to link them to a skos:ConceptScheme. See also Example 84 below. """ Also note that example 84 in section A.2.4.2 illustrates the use of skos:inScheme with skosxl:Label.
