Re: Maintenance Workflow for SKOS (or RDF statements)

Thank you very much Simon!

Did you implemented something around that model? Or do you know a 
project team working on it? In Java?

For me, there is one thing to also think about is the granularity of the 
"Item".
     "Concept" seems obvious. But I think it will be often a specific 
relation.
     To make the system rather general, I was thinking of a system able 
to manage any RDF statement (or group of RDF statement with the same 
subject).

Have a nice day!

Christophe
