  skos:scopeNote "Use a narrower sheen grade when the source supplies one. Semi-gloss and High gloss are narrower meanings; Satin has no universal broader relation here because suppliers both describe it as a glossy look and contrast it with glossy finishes. This term is not a rung on the ordered sheen scale and does not establish a polishing process."@en .
