Re: Transition Request: RDF People Vocabulary as FPWD

Thanks Thomas.  The congratulations go entirely to the Editors of the respective vocabs, but we're all grateful to have it moved one step closer :-)

Understand re: publication date.  I just didn't want to put "TBD" as a placeholder, so put the latest date from the ED.

We'll work with Sandro on the boilerplate.  Thanks for reviewing so quickly.  Much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Bernadette Hyland

>> Abstract:
>> This document defines a set of terms for describing people. It defines how to describe people's characteristics such as names or addresses and how to relate people to other things, for example to organizations or projects. For each term, guidance on the usage within a running example is provided. This document also defines mappings to widely used vocabularies to enable interoperability. 
>> 
>> This document is aimed at both publishers and consumers of Linked Data. We assume that the reader has a certain familiarity with RDF and RDF Schema as well as well-known vocabularies, such as FOAF or Dublin Core. The goal of the document is to specify an interoperable way to describe people and their relationships to other entities such as organisations or projects.
