Notations

State:
CLOSED

SKOS
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
What is best practice for assigning a notation to a conceptual resource
(notations are codes used in some thesauri and classification schemes)? Do we
need some explicit vocabulary for expressing notations (e.g. skos:notation)? Or
can it be done using existing features (e.g. skos:prefLabel @art)?

2008-05-07: RESOLVED: to introduce skos:notation a rdf:Property whose value is a typed literal. The datatype of the literal specifies a syntax encoding scheme and the value of the literal is the classification code from that encoding scheme. As prefLabel is optional, SKOS tools may want to display notations as labels. -- http://www.w3.org/2008/05/07-swd-minutes.html#item01
