Concept Scheme
type: Class
definition: A set of concepts, optionally including statements about semantic relationships between those concepts.
comment: Thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, 'folksonomies', and other types of controlled vocabulary are all examples of concept schemes. Concept schemes are also embedded in glossaries and terminologies.
comment: A concept scheme may be defined to include concepts from different sources.
example: ConceptScheme.rdf.xml
term status: testing
issued: 2004-03-26
modified: 2005-10-14
change note: Comment changed to be clear about the fact that glossaries and terminologies are not types of controlled vocabulary.

change note: The statement about this resource, involving the skos:subjectIndicator predicate, was removed.
  date: 2005-09-29
  creator: Alistair Miles
change note:
  value: Definition modified from 'A description of a set of concepts, which may include a description of relationships between those concepts'. Comment added 'Thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, terminologies, glossaries and other types of controlled vocabulary are all examples of concept schemes'. Change to bring in line with SKOS Core Guide and definition at Willpower Glossary.
  date: 2005-02-09
  creator: Alistair Miles
change note:
  value: Reworked the definition, in line with new guide. Concept scheme now defined as 'a *description* of a set of concepts, which may include a description of relationships between those concepts'. This change made to make explicit the fact that semantic relationships between concepts may be part of a concept scheme. Also expresses modelling concept scheme as an information resource (hence the 'description' word added).

change note:
  value: Removed the comment about inferring the meaning of a resource of type skos:Concept, because it was misleading (move to intentional model, where properties of a concept *explain* the meaning of the concept, but do not determine it. This allows for clearer modelling of concepts in multiple schemes).
