<< Instead of inventing new xlink attributes, e.g. this had been suggested: << isA | hasA | equiv | isLike | partOf << RDF allows to link two resources WITH ANY DOMAIN-DEFINED SEMANTICS. This morning I fund a fact sheet about the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) semantic network: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/umlssemn.html It would be an interesting test case for any proposed solution for conveying domain-defined semantics. "The Semantic Network, through its 132 semantic types, provides a consistent categorization of all concepts represented in the UMLS Metathesaurus®. The 53 links between the semantic types provide the structure for the Network and represent important relationships in the biomedical domain. All information about specific concepts is found in the Metathesaurus; the Network provides information about the basic semantic types that are assigned to these concepts, and it defines the relationships that may hold between the semantic types.
