Re: suggested shortnames

Hi,

My two cents ...

In the interest of consistency, I will suggest that we 
adopt a common prefix which clarifies to all users (including govt) that 
it was the contribution from this WG. We can use the prefix of gld-. . 
This will help people track provenance of name spaces.
use common acronyms like pub (for publishing) and ld (for linked data)

So, people becomes: gld-vocab-people or gld-people
and publishing-linked-data become: gld-pub-ld or gld-pub

+1 for vocab-people etc. -  looks sensible and scalable to me.

We're chartered for GLD. Our prime 'customers' are government agency. 
Let's be honest and stick with what/who we are. Don't get me wrong - I 
love the idea that the stuff we write is reusable and in a sense 
applicable to other domains, but I think we're sending out the wrong 
message. I fear that in an attempt to maximise potential reuse down 
the line we fail to show respect and dedication towards our main 
audience: governments.

Hmmm ... unsure about this.
