Code lists should be represented as skos:ConceptSchemes
For better reusability and tool support (e.g., https://fcp.vse.cz/iga-hybrid/), our code lists should not only be implemented by having multiple individuals of the same class, but with a redundant SKOS structure. We hardly ever even make explicit use of SKOS – Frequency is the only example I could find. That is, in addition to
ids:Foo a owl:Class.
ids:FOO a ids:Foo.
it would be good to have
ids:Foo a owl:Class, skos:ConceptScheme .
ids:FOO a ids:Foo, skos:Concept ;
skos:inScheme ids:Foo .
I would strongly support this suggestion. Adding SKOS is important for vocab tool support.
