[PORT/THES] Concrete actions

Hi all,

I would like to propose the following activities and timeline for the
THES TF:
 
1. Engage in a round of development of the SKOS-Core RDF schema [1], in
collaboration with SWIG and current SKOS community, with a deadline of end
september to freeze further developments.
 
2. Publish a 'SKOS-Core Vocabulary Specification' as a first working draft
by the end of October.
 
3. Publish an entry-level note 'Quick Guide to Using SKOS-Core for Thesauri'
by end November.
 
Why not publish something right away?  Lot's of good suggestions for
improvements and additions to SKOS-Core have come up recently, especially
since the publication of the SKOS-Core 1.0 Guide [2] in March of this year.
I suggest we take this opportunity to make some improvements, and look to
publish after a 2-3 month development iteration.

Any objections to this plan?
 
Yours,
 
Alistair.
