Hello Alistair Thanks for the finding. Looks indeed very close to what we need, indeed, and we have URIs for the status values. Looking a closer there is a bit of namespace hijacking / wishful thinking - not to mention the weird xml:lang attribute on the skos:Concept element itself :( <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://metadataregistry.org/uri/RegStatus/1003" xml:lang="en"> <skos:inScheme rdf:resource=" http://metadataregistry.org/uri/RegStatus"/> <*skos:status* rdf:resource=" http://metadataregistry.org/uri/RegStatus/1001"/> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="en">Change-Proposed</skos:prefLabel> </skos:Concept> *skos:status* ??? I don't think it has ever been there even in the spec drafts, or maybe remotely in the corner of some discussions. Alistair, remember such a thing? ... but if someday soon we have, courtesy of DCMI diligence, a dcterms:status property it would fit neatly in the slot.
