COMMONS13 — Annotation Vocabulary missing discussion of labeling policy

  • Key: COMMONS13-13
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Little best practice or guidance is given in either the spec or the ontology. By the fact that they're included it seems that skos:prefLabel and skos:altLabel are recommended. However they're not actually used in this or any of the other Commons ontologies.
    Commons itself provides an alternative with its Designations ontology. And OMG provides a strong capability in MVF.

    Users of Commons should be warned about the anti-pattern use of rdfs:label as the primary in conjunction with skos:altLabel which makes it impossible, with reasoning enabled, to return only the primary (since skos:altLabel; is a subProperty of rdfs:label)
