[Action][SKOS-Core] handling top concepts

I have actioned the proposal [1] for handling top concepts.

Changes to SKOS Core RDF Vocabulary [2]:

The description of the new property 'skos:hasTopConcept' is as follows:

	<rdf:Property rdf:ID="hasTopConcept">
	  <rdfs:label>has top concept</rdfs:label>
		<rdfs:domain rdf:resource="#ConceptScheme"/>
		<rdfs:range rdf:resource="#Concept"/>
	  <rdfs:comment>Use this property to indicate that a concept is a
top concept in a specific concept scheme.</rdfs:comment>
		<rdfs:isDefinedBy
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core"/>
		<vs:term_status>testing</vs:term_status>
		<owl:versionInfo>This property replaces the deprecated
skos:TopConcept class.</owl:versionInfo>
		<dct:replaces rdf:resource="#TopConcept"/>
		<dct:created>2004-08-19</dct:created>
	</rdf:Property>

The description of the old class 'skos:TopConcept' is now as follows:

	<owl:DeprecatedClass rdf:ID="TopConcept">
		<rdfs:label>Top Concept</rdfs:label>
		<rdfs:comment>A concept that sits at the top of the concept
hierarchy.</rdfs:comment>
		<rdfs:isDefinedBy
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core"/>
		<vs:term_status>unstable</vs:term_status>
		<owl:versionInfo>This class is now deprecated.  To indicate
that a concept is a top concept in a scheme, now use the skos:hasTopConcept
property.</owl:versionInfo>
    <dct:isReplacedBy rdf:resource="#hasTopConcept"/>
		<dct:modified>2004-08-19</dct:modified>
	</owl:DeprecatedClass>

Yours,

Alistair.
