Re: [VM] name for the cookbook

Speaking as mostly a lurker, and at the risk of being considered 
terminally dull, I like Ralph's original suggestion (or even "Serving 
RDFS and OWL Vocabularies").  Shorter is better, especially when the 
only reason for lengthening is to indirectly reference the "cookbook" 
metaphor.  [If you really want that metaphor, why not use it directly, 
as in "A Cookbook for Serving...."?  A couple of other nits:  You don't 
usually use either cookbooks or recipes to describe serving, rather, you 
serve what was produced using cookbooks or recipes.  Also, if they're 
going to be cookbooks or recipes, aren't they different for French, 
Italian, and Chinese "cuisine"?]
