<bradley.p.allen@gmail.com> Hi Bradley,  thanks a lot for
raising this question, as currently we have discussions about
different approaches of Label management in SKOS(XL), and the
homograph issue has been somehow neglected so far.  Karl has
mentioned the difference between homographs and homophones
already. I would say: homographs - same spelling, different
meaning ("graph" has nothing to do with an RDF graph in this
case). homophones - same sound (phonetics), different meaning.
As SKOS(XL) is dealing with lexical aspects ("literal form")
rather than with phonetics (at least so far), we have to care
for homographs at first.  One example: (not a homophone).  This
is a common practise, not a standard.  In SKOS you may say:  <A>
a skos:Concept ;     skos:prefLabel "bass [fish]" .  <B> a
skos:Concep
