Re: best practice property to use for naming a skos:ConceptScheme

Hi Bob, Helmut,  Simon,

In the SKOS Primer dct:title is also used, cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/#secscheme
And there the dct: namespace is defined in the intro.
By the way thanks for spotting this slight mistake in the Reference, Bob. We should add the dct: declaration in http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-skos-reference-20090818/#L1368! It's a simple erratum...

Cheers,

Antoine

>> dct: is never declared anywhere. I'm guessing from the t that http://purl.org/dc/terms/ was meant, but title is a property of http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ , not of http://purl.org/dc/terms/ . Either way, it's confusing and another example of why people should always declare their prefixes, if only in a note at the beginning of a spec that uses them in examples.
