Hi Christophe, 

thank you for this first step, 
we should also consider to make references to 
http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/ 

maybe also ask the people who work on this if they 
would like to participate in our specific SKOS related initiative. 

Anyone else (who provides SKOS tools) interested? 

Regards, 
Andreas
