skos:Concept
A Concept is defined as a unit of thought or meaning that comes from an organised knowledge base (such as subject terms from a thesaurus or controlled vocabulary) where URIs or local identifiers have been created to represent each concept. In the cultural heritage domain there are many such controlled vocabularies such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings or AAT.
