SKOS Core: Update to some term definitions and comments

A number of small changes have been made to the definitions and comments of some of the SKOS Core terms. These changes have been made mainly to refine the meaning and scope of these terms, and to bring them in line with the current development of the SKOS Core Guide.

The CVS change log reporting these changes is reproduced below.

----------------------------
revision 1.36
date: 2004/12/17 13:43:58; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +11 -3
Change to skos:related - Changed the definition to mention 'associative relationships', because previous definition too broad, and also to bring in line with BS8723 definition of 'associative relationships'.
----------------------------
revision 1.35
date: 2004/12/17 13:37:39; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +8 -2
Change to skos:OrderedCollection - The text 'where both the grouping and the ordering are meaningful' added to the definition.
----------------------------
revision 1.34
date: 2004/12/17 13:34:05; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +9 -1
Change to skos:ConceptScheme - Reworked the definition, in line with new guide. Concept scheme now defined as 'a *description* of a set of concepts, which may include a description of relationships between those concepts'. This change made to make explicit the fact that semantic relationships between concepts may be part of a concept scheme. Also expresses modelling concept scheme as an information resource (hence the 'description' word added).
----------------------------
revision 1.33
date: 2004/12/17 13:28:08; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +8 -1
Change to skos:Concept - Removed the comment about inferring the meaning of a resource of type skos:Concept, because it was misleading (move to intentional model, where properties of a concept *explain* the meaning of the concept, but do not determine it. This allows for clearer modelling of concepts in multiple schemes).
----------------------------
revision 1.32
date: 2004/12/17 13:23:26; author: ajm65; state: Exp; lines: +10 -1
Changes to skos:Collection - The word 'meaningful' added to the definition; small change to the comment to make it clearer.
----------------------------
