The range of skos:altLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
- Comment
- enThe range of skos:altLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
- enskos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
- Definition
- enAn alternative lexical label for a resource.
- Example
- enAcronyms, abbreviations, spelling variants, and irregular plural/singular forms may be included among the alternative labels for a concept. Mis-spelled terms are normally included as hidden labels (see skos:hiddenLabel).

is in mapping relation with
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.
