  <!-- 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.

    <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">These concept mapping relations mirror semantic relations, and the data model defined below is similar (with the exception of skos:exactMatch) to the data model defined for semantic relations. A distinct vocabulary is provided for concept mapping relations, to provide a convenient way to differentiate links within a concept scheme from links between concept schemes. However, this pattern of usage is not a formal requirement of the SKOS data model, and relies on informal definitions of best practice.</rdfs:comment>
