Getting an own domain for the vocabulary also helps keeping the URIs short. On the other hand, using something like purl.org also seems reasonable. I'm agnostic regarding the top-level domain. I note that the .net TLD isn't terribly popular and I can't think of many current examples of vocabularies in the .net namespace. > - there should be a two-level ownership structure, where one > disinterested, trusted, 3rd party (like the executor of a will) retains > final control, but delegates to the creator/maintainer.

Again, +1. Best, Richard
