Dean/Eric, Doesn't this boil down to the question of who you need to interact with? If it's the rest of the world then you better not change the NAICS codes, otherwise your app may not work correctly. If it's your own private world, you can do whatever you want - who could possibly stop you? _________________________________________________________ Arthur Ryman > > One of the nice things about RDF is that it is easy to extend one > of these things without modifying it, which standards like SKOS > encourage.

That holds > even more so for things like SKOS and PROV.
