[SKOS] SKOS standard vs extensions

Hi Margherita,

I'm reacting to the second part of your mail in a different thread.

Are you refering to the SKOS extensions vocabulary. Be careful, I think 
this was just an editor's draft, therefore far from belonging to the 
(future) standard SKOS specification. It might be therefore be risky to 
use. So if you create e.g. skos:broaderInstantive statements in your 
vocabulary, you should perhaps make sure that there is also a 
skos:broader statement in case the first is not in any final standard 
specification.

Any people from the SWD having some advice on this? I think we might go 
into trouble if we have unofficial SKOS extensions hanging around, with 
people starting to use it. This actually is quite close to Kjetil having 
perhaps used skos:it in his tagging environment application [2].

Cheers,

Antoine
