Establishing new schemas/vocabularies and popularizing widespread use is very hard. This is the rationale behind re-using the SIOC vocabulary in the aTag project -- aTags are basically a convention on how to use a simple subset of SIOC plus established domain ontologies to encode information, without requiring consensus on some new vocabulary. SIOC is _relatively_ widespread and already implemented in several tools such as Wordpress, Drupal, Virtuoso etc. There will hopefully be a small workshop paper coming out about this soon. -- Matthias
