Collections

A collection is a labelled group of related concepts, declared with skos:Collection. Membership carries no broader/narrower meaning: a concept’s place in the hierarchy is independent of the collections it belongs to. Collections are the usual way to represent facets, or node labels in a thesaurus.

Each collection’s description says what decides membership, and each is listed with its members. Collections have URIs in the same namespace as concepts, so every one of them dereferences on its own.

skos:member has no inverse in SKOS, so the statement lives only on the collection — which is why a term’s own page and All terms both repeat it from this side.
