RE: SKOS API .... are u serious? Yes we are!

Hi Leo,

Bear in mind that the SKOS API has been designed as an abstract API for a
*web service* and may not be suitable for internal representation of SKOS
objects within a single application.

I'm glad to see the API getting some attention, as I still hope we can as a
community work on the further development of the API as we have done with
SKOS Core.  

Cheers,

Al.
