re: [Proposal][SKOS-Core] Moving semantic relation property exten sions to an 'extensions' vocab.

Any further comments on this proposal?

<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/2004Aug/0081.html>

... 

I would like to propose that the following properties be removed from 
SKOS Core, and be moved to an 'extensions' vocabulary (perhaps under the 
namespace <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/extensions#>?) ...

skos:broaderGeneric
skos:broaderInstantive
skos:broaderPartitive
skos:narrowerGeneric
skos:narrowerInstantive
skos:narrowerPartitive
skos:relatedHasPart
skos:relatedIsPartOf

My reasons are:

(1) These are the least stable parts of SKOS Core, and I don't expect 
them to stabilise in the short term (i.e. months).  So they're getting 
in the way of publishing short term.
(2) They impinge on the whole 'thesauri -> ontologies' question, which 
again I don't think we're going to have an answer for in the next couple 
of months.
(3) They clutter up SKOS Core, and distract from its fundamental features.
