When to use skos:related and skos:relatedMatch #8

Description

@stuartasutton

Skos has a property called skos:related that is used for pointing to a term that is semantically related but not in a broader/narrower sense. It has a super property of skos:semanticRelation.

There is a property skos:relatedMatch that has super properties skos:mappingRelation AND skos:related. This "match" property is used in CTDL for pointing to a concept in a different concept scheme that is not just "related", but a close match in terms of identity.

The skos:related property is for use in pointing to something that would be considered significantly "related", e.g., "U.S. Civil War" might be skos:related "Abraham Lincoln", but would certainly not be considered skos:relatedMatch (i.e., they don't share an identity).
