Dear all, Following the resolution of the name, I have updated the draft spec and RDF schema for the Registered Organization Ontology [1]. Even better news, I'm delighted that Agis Papantoniou of NTUA, who joined us recently as an IE, has also agreed to co-edit this spec. I asked Agis based on the work he's told us about at NTUA on publicspending.gr which is using RegOrg I believe (it will now whatever ;-) ) I've added a new section that makes the relationship with ORG explicit. It refers to ADMS for some of its datatypes, notably adms:Identifier. I've actually amended the latter [2]. The UN/CEFACT complex type on which adms:Identifier is based has separate fields for the actual identifier string and its type. I've tightened up the definition to make it clear that the type should be provided as a datatype on the skos:notation value. This keeps the SPARQL query that derives the org:identifier as simple as it is. Earlier on today I was playing with SPARQL queries that included STRDT() functions to append the value of a dcterms:type property as the datatype for a skos:notation property and it was just horrible. :-( The change in name also made it seem better the rename what was originally the legalIdentifer property to rov:registration. Taking on board the comments received about ADMS I have included RDF encodings throughout. If folk have time to review this actually very short vocab spec, I would be very grateful. There is a team in Brussels actively promoting it and ORG so if the WG agrees, then its publication as an FPWD would be very welcome. Also, Peter Krantz [3] is busy implementing it in Sweden (and screaming at me to get the schema in place!) Thank you Phil.
