Ordered/Labelled Collections of Concepts
Some concept schemes collect groups of concepts under a label, where the label does not denote a concept in its own right. These labels are often called 'node labels' or 'guide terms'. For example:
@@TODO extract from AAT or THA
To represent this kind of structure, do for example:
@@TODO example of using skos:Collection with skos:member
Collections may also be nested, for example:
@@TODO example of nested collections.
In the above examples, the order of the members of a collection is not significant. To represent an ordered collection, do for example:
@@TODO example of ordered collection
An ordered collection may have an rdfs:label
property, but it is not necessary.
Below is an example of nested ordered labelled collections:
@@TODO nested ordered labelled collections.
Note that, for ordered collections, the following rule applies:
list rule for skos:member
Note also that, for all properties of type skos:[[CollectableProperty]]
e.g. skos:narrower
the following rule applies:
collectable property rule
