What do others think?We had discussions about this in the early 2000s, and some early guidelines for APs actually proposed that a profile distinguish between labels taken from the source vocabulary and "local labels" worded to make the meaning of the property clearer for a particular context. "Translated" labels (into Italian, Korean, etc) were of course a special case...
