You are correct that we could just treat each node spreadsheet as a dataset, as in the INSEE example. We could also proxy the records in such a dataset so they are accessible via the associated item URI, and we could do content negotiation so the URI can return
HTML, RDF, Turtle, etc. as required.</div>

with a (regular) set of properties. (This use case came from INSEE, the French statistical agency. They are heavy users of SKOS but chose not to use it for this.)</div>

I wanted to highlight a use case for vocabularies that does not align well with the CDIF SKOS recommendation. I'm not sure it really affects anything about CDIF, but I'm logging it here anyway, Maybe, the recommendation is that I don't use the word "vocabulary"
in this case.</div>

APPN is encouraging its partner nodes to produce spreadsheets listing the names and properties for key components of their persistent physical infrastructure (growth facilities, platforms and sensors) and for concepts that the node will reuse across datasets

Each row in one of these spreadsheets will be an instance of a class in a schema.org-compliant APPN schema (based on the MIAPPE minimum-information model, SOSA, schema.org and other ontologies).</div>

APPN will publish the content of these spreadsheets via Research Vocabularies Australia. This will mean that every row will receive a URI that resolves to a landing page or linked data with all the properties for the instance. This is part of our plan for linking
all data from our nodes as a single navigable linked-data graph. A central node will harvest the metadata from all APPN datasets and offer services based on these linkages. Effectively, we're using this approach to publish class-specific PIDs for entities
that don't merit a DOI, ORCID, ROR or RAiD. </div>

I don't want to coerce these sets of instances into a skos:ConceptScheme, but I've been treating them as a controlled vocabulary. Is there anything I need to consider or adjust to avoid a (minor) collision with CDIF?</div>
