SKOS namspace for ORE was [ISSUE-77] [ISSUE-48]

Leonard et al:

To help us focus on the boundary between a scheme for organising knowledge
concepts and a scheme for cataloguing "documents" or resources ..

would you agree that skos be a namespace Open Archives Initiative Object
Reuse and Exchange ?

http://www.openarchives.org/ore/0.1/toc
... the ORE Model that makes it possible to associate an identity with
aggregations of Resources and  provide descriptions of their structure and
semantics. ... uses the following namespaces and prefixes to indicate
those namespaces:

Prefix Namespace URI Description
dc http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ Dublin Core elements
dcterms http://purl.org/dc/terms/ Dublin Core terms
ore http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/ ORE vocabulary terms
owl http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl# OWL vocabulary terms
rdf http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# RDF vocabulary terms
