"""
The whole document contains several such cases, where two or even more very
similar examples are given. If you haven't done so already, you might consider
whether this is good practice, and perhaps decide to drop all those
"almost-duplicates".

2008-11-10: RESOLUTION: We realise that, for those with experience of logics and entailment, such example may appear trivial and redundant. However, many readers of the SKOS Reference will not have extensive experience of logical entailment, and hence we have included these almost-duplicate examples to provide a clear illustration of the simple entailments that follow from the SKOS data model for these readers. We propose to retain these examples, can you live with this?
