SKOS mapping properties are intended to express matching (exact or fuzzy) of concepts from one concept scheme to another, and by convention are used only to connect concepts from different schemes. The concepts <code>relatedMatch</code>, <code>broadMatch</code>, and <code>narrowMatch</code> are a convenience, with the same meaning as the semantic properties <code>related</code>, <code>broader</code>, and <code>narrower</code>. (See previous section regarding the meanings of broader and narrower.)

The property <code>relatedMatch</code> makes a simple associative relationship between two concepts. When concepts are so closely related that they can generally be used interchangeably, <code>exactMatch</code> is the appropriate property (<code>exactMatch</code> relations are transitive, unlike any of the other Match relations). The <code>closeMatch</code> property that indicates concepts that only sometimes can be used interchangeably, and so it is not a transitive property.
