Relating Concepts Across Schemas in Different Projects

[John McCloud]

Hello there!

I am trying to understand how to link concepts across two schemas using an object property like skos:closeMatch in Vocbench. The layout looks like this:

Project 1:
--Concept Scheme 1.1:
----Concept 1.1.1

Project 2:
--Concept Scheme 2.1:
----Concept 2.1.1

And I would like to assert:
concept1.1.1 - skos:closeMatch - concept2.1.1

But I cannot do this, and I think it's because the schemas live in different projects. The only concepts I can relate to are those that exist within either the same concept scheme or possibly all those concept schemes that are loaded for the same project.

According to the ACL, all the projects have read access, so that shouldn't be a problem (assuming I read it correctly). I thought about importing the namespace from one project into another, but when I go to the Namespace Manager to "Add import from Local Project," there are no projects available (the rendering here is odd; it shows me a black line rather than an empty set of dropdown options, so perhaps there is a bug?)

How do I achieve the assertion above? Must I have all concept schemes I'm looking to link exist within the same project? Is that the only way?

Thank you!
