Just to be sure everyone caught it correctly : there is *no* such
property as skos:label *so far* in the SKOS vocabulary.
My proposal is to introduce it in SKOS as a clean, OWL-DL conformant,
alternative to various hacking of rdfs:label non-semantics.

John Goodwin a écrit :
What I suggest here (with cc to SKOS forum) is to define
somewhere a standard generic label datatype property, which
could be easily refined in specific types of labels while
keeping in OWL-DL; making everybody happy. The most natural
place to do that seems to be SKOS namespace.
Here is the proposal
skos:label a owl:DatatypeProperty
skos:prefLabel rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:label
skos:altLabel rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:label
...
pub:name rdfs:subPropertyOf skos:label
Applications and vocabularies wanting to stick to OWL-DL
would use skos:label and its extensive subproperties instead
of rdfs:label RDFS-only applications would just have to add
skos:label rdfs:subPropertyOf rdfs:label
What do people think?
Bernard
PS : just reading John's answer ... I guess he would be very
happy with such a solution
Yes that works for me. We did a similar thing at work (Ordnance Survey)
for our Administrative Geography RDF. We has a property "hasName" which
in turn has various subproperties "hasVernacularName",
"hasOfficialName", "hasBoundaryLineName" etc.
When I was producing the pub data I'd forgotten allow about SKOS...shame
on me :)
(I notice that foaf:name is a subproperty of rdfs:label as well.)
