"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien". At http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos which is supposed to be the address of the SKOS schema, one can read "Note that the vocabulary is served using Recipe 3 (see SWD Best Practice Recipes for Publishing Vocabularies [RDF-RECIPES] <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080829/skos.html#RDF-RECIPES>), so clients requiring RDF/XML should should make an appropriate request in the header. " Great, cool for machines. I suppose the double "should should" reads as a "MUST", because it seems that the regular guy with a regular browser without RDF plugin just can't get to the schema. I wanted to point to this URI for someone wanting to simply load it in an ontology editor ... I tried to upload directly this URI in Protégé and got a pile of Java errors I don't want to read. Is it too difficult to put on this page something like : "The SKOS RDF Schema is (in) the document available at http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos/whatever" ? As it were ... before someone invented Best Practices :-) Bottom line : if we want outreach to be effective, please allow people not aware of all httpRange subtleties to have a simple answer to the question"Where do I click to download this d... schema ??".
