Re: ANN: The Vehicle Sales Ontology - Cars, Bikes, Boats on the Web of Data - http://purl.org/vso/ns

Hi Bob,
yes, of course I use the proper language tag for the labels. However,  
given the state of tooling and typical workflows, the choice of the  
identifiers is still critical, because
- RDFa coders will always use the identifiers and likely never see the  
labels
- the navigation in the ontology documentation is typically based on  
the identifiers, not the labels.

See http://purl.org/vso/ns

In my ontology projects, I have so far refrained from providing  
translations for the elements, because the effort for reliable, high- 
quality translations is very high and the use is limited, given the  
fact that English is widely understood among application developers in  
the world.
