Property
[Agrovoc] The sending out of light from a substance which is receiving radiation.(en)
[EnvThes] light of one optical wave­length emitted by a material in response to illumination with light of another wave­length. The ﬂuorescent dyes used as stains in ﬂuorescence microscopy are usually those that emit a particular colour, e.g. red, green, blue, on activation by ultraviolet light.
[Wikipedia] Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation. The most striking example of fluorescence occurs when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and thus invisible to the human eye, while the emitted light is in the visible region, which gives the fluorescent substance a distinct color that can be seen only when exposed to UV light. Fluorescent materials cease to glow nearly immediately when the radiation source stops, unlike phosphorescent materials, which continue to emit light for some time after.

Concept
SKOS Concept
definition
A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept.
is in scheme
Relates a resource (for example a concept) to a concept scheme in which it is included.
preferred label
A resource has no more than one value of skos:prefLabel per language tag, and no more than one value of skos:prefLabel without language tag.
The range of skos:prefLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
The preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language.
has broader
Broader concepts are typically rendered as parents in a concept hierarchy (tree).
Relates a concept to a concept that is more general in meaning.
has exact match
skos:exactMatch is disjoint with each of the properties skos:broadMatch and skos:relatedMatch.
skos:exactMatch is used to link two concepts, indicating a high degree of confidence that the concepts can be used interchangeably across a wide range of information retrieval applications. skos:exactMatch is a transitive property, and is a sub-property of skos:closeMatch.
