  skos:scopeNote "Deliberately not a kind of `bathroom`. In American usage a WC is a bathroom and the edge would be clean; in British usage it is not, and the whole point of the term is the absence of bathing provision. Since the difference is exactly what a specifier needs to see, the two terms sit side by side rather than one inside the other. `cloakroom` was an carried as another name here in the 0.2 draft and is now a term of its own for the coat room, on Getty's meaning; the British domestic sense meaning this room moves to Seen in the wild, where observed but non-canonical labels belong. The label is left alone so the published id keeps its name."@en .
