=== Documentation ===

The Documentation or Note properties provide basic information about SKOS concepts. All the conceptsproperties are considered a type of <code>skos:note</code>; they just provide more specific kinds of information. The property <code>definition</code>, for example, should contain a full description of the subject resource. More specific note types can be defined in a SKOS extension, if desired. A query for <code>&lt;A&gt; skos:note ?</code> will obtain all the notes about &lt;A&gt;, including definitions, examples, and scope, history and change, and editorial documentation.

Any of these SKOS Documentation properties can refer to several object types: a literal (e.g., a string); a resource node that has its own properties; or a reference to another document, for example using a URI. This enables the documentation to have its own [[metadata]], like creator and creation date.
