<!-- This schema represents a formalisation of a subset of the semantic conditions
described in the SKOS Reference document dated 18 August 2009, accessible
at http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-skos-reference-20090818/. XML comments of the form Sn are used to
indicate the semantic conditions that are being expressed. Comments of the form
[Sn] refer to assertions that are, strictly speaking, redundant as they follow
from the RDF(S) or OWL semantics.
A number of semantic conditions are *not* expressed formally in this schema. These are:
S12
S13
S14
S27
S36
S46
For the conditions listed above, rdfs:comments are used to indicate the conditions.
