One approach, which I mentioned on this list a few weeks ago, is to
publish the information as pairs of (source identification, term used
in that source).  This has a certain practical quality, since we
already know a lot about using URLs for source identification.

I recently attempted to address these necessary extensions with a new
("tann:") URI scheme, described at http://www.w3.org/2001/02/tann.  (I
have some inkling that inventing URI schemes is taboo, but I'm still
waiting to hear a better solution to this problem.)
