[Esip-semanticharmonization] SKOS problem, Re: Reminder to join Wednesday's (2/16/2022 2-3 Eastern US, 6-7 UTC) ESIP Semantic Harmonization

[Nancy Wiegand]

I might have the wrong direction regarding SKOS. At least it says (in 
https://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/#secrel):

*"Note on |skos:broader| direction:* for historic reasons, the name of 
the |skos:broader| property (the word "broader") does not provide an 
explicit indication of its direction. The word "broader" should read 
here as "has broader concept"; the subject of a |skos:broader| statement 
is the more specific concept involved in the assertion and its object is 
the more generic one."

and:

ex:mammals rdf:type skos:Concept;
   skos:prefLabel "mammals"@en;
   skos:broader ex:animals.

So, top to bottom, apparently the above would read as mammals 'has broader concept animals'. So, if our
  spreadsheet is read left to right, and if we consider left is top and right is bottom, then it would be:
mammals  animals  broader
This would read as 'mammals has broader concept animals'. But, I don't know. Since it's our own spreadsheet,
maybe we could do it either way, although top=left and bottom=right probably is more similar.

Anyone know for sure?
