Can someone sum up for this list whether the actual semantic meaning of existing 2004/02/skos concepts (I mean, URIs) will be changed, or whether they will mint new URIs within that space? I started looking at the references and an hour later hadn't gotten much closer to a concise answer. Do I assume it's a done deal at this point? This decision befuddles my feeble brain, but maybe that's my problem. If there is a page that describes the best practices that led to, or resulted from, this decision (or even what justified the decision in the end), I would be very interested in seeing it. Also, along the same confused lines, http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping/spec/2004-11-11.html would appear to be more recent than 2004/02/ but is not the same as any of the recent documents. Can I assume it is deprecated?
