Line 84:

Each SKOS <code>label</code> is a string of [[Unicode]] characters, optionally with language tags, that are associated with a concept. The <code>prefLabel</code> is the preferred human-readable string (maximum one per language tag), while <code>altLabel</code> can be used for alternative strings, and <code>hiddenLabel</code> can be used for strings that are useful to associate, but not meant for humans to read.

A SKOS <code>notation</code> is similar to a label, but thethis literal string has a datatype, like integer, float, or date; the datatype can even be made up (see 6.5.1 Notations, Typed Literals and Datatypes in the SKOS Reference). The notation is useful for classification codes and other strings not recognizable as words.
