Editor's Notes
As examples, we are looking at two very different devices in classification systems that perform some kind of grouping function by partitioning concepts.
optional classification number (DDC)?
One concept cannot have more than one notations
A SKOS concept scheme can be viewed as an aggregation of one or more SKOS concepts . Semantic relationships (links) between those concepts may also be viewed as part of a concept scheme. schedule The series of numbers, captions and accompanying instructions or notes that constitute the core of a classification scheme . For the Library of Congress Classification , the schedules are designated from A-Z with one, two, or three letters denoting the class or subclass within the schedule. In the Dewey Decimal Classification the schedules are designated by the series of DDC numbers 001-999.
The notion of an individual SKOS concept scheme corresponds roughly to the notion of an individual thesaurus, classification scheme, subject heading system or other knowledge organization system. However, in most current information systems, a thesaurus or classification scheme is treated as a closed system — conceptual units defined within that system cannot take part in other systems (although they can be mapped to units in other systems).
