Hmmm... call me lazy? And yes, maybe the full names are better. > > "It is notable that some jurisdictions regard the use of any name other than the primary Legal Name as suspicious." is a fun fact, but what's it doing in this document? I'd say it's a warning not to use this particular term without recognising the possible consequences. In the original WG there was a lot of debate over whether it should be included at all and this was the compromise for allowing it to be included. > > The introduction uses the tense "This is a vocabulary for describing organizations that have gained legal entity status". The abstract should use the same tense. Ack. Thanks again.

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. >> >> [1] http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/legal/index.html >> [2] http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/adms/index.html#data-types >> [3] https://twitter.com/peterkz_swe >> >> >> >> -- >> >> >> Phil Archer >> W3C eGovernment >> http://www.w3.org/egov/ >> >> http://philarcher.org >> +44 (0)7887 767755 >> @philarcher1 >> > > -- Phil Archer W3C eGovernment http://www.w3.org/egov/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
