Commons silently changes the semantics of dct:description
-
Key: COMMONS13-14
-
Status: open
-
Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)

Summary:
The definition in Commons Annotation Vocabulary is not a mere copy of what's in DCT with the documented addition of making it a owl:AnnotationProperty, but adds the triple :
<rdfs:subPropertyOf rdf:resource="&skos;note"/>
That may or may not be a good idea but it adds a dependency and it's a significant change that should be flagged.
In fact, given that SKOS itself makes use of DCT, that makes for a somewhat undesirable circular dependency though not formally stated.If an aim is some sort of unification then maybe skos:definition should be made a subProperty of dct:description.
