Re: Managing vocabularies at W3C

Dear Phil,

I will be very happy to attend the meeting which should be very useful for
the community.
I have been involved in the latest dcat-ap evolution on the behalf of
Publications Office and I follow the schema.org evolution process with
participation to the proposal of extension for legal resources.

Best regards
Jean
