Good list - can it go on the (either) Wiki somewhere?

Volunteering..? ;-)

I think it could also be useful to record the date/time and person
doing the tagging - such terms from the Tag Ontology [1] should work
ok with SKOS.

So how do you get from del.icio.us to graph? The RSS 1.0 feed seems
the obvious candidate, although if I remember correctly it's pre-2004
RDF. Might (perversly) be easiest to eat it through XSLT, change it to
using SKOS/Tag Ontology/SIOC or whatever.
