Business Voc and ADMS

Dear all,

An update on progress with a couple of the ISA Programme inputs.

Business Core Vocabulary
========================
This vocabulary is gaining the most attention with existing 
implementation by Open Corporates, test implementations going on in 
Sweden and active discussions around its use by the Belgian company 
register.

I have created a W3C/GLD version of the spec and put it in the Mercurial 
repository [1] with the RDF schema in the same directory.

Due to the interest in this vocabulary right now (and active promotion 
by the EU and its contractors) I am keen to secure approval from the GLD 
to publish this as an FPWD, modulo any comments of course, particularly 
from Dave (cf. Org Ontology which this sub classes).

Alongside the spec, I'd like to publish the RDF schema and associated 
namespace document. Currently there is a holding page at 
http://www.w3.org/ns/legal# that is becoming increasingly embarrassing.

ADMS
====
I put a W3C version of the ADMS spec in Mercurial before the summer 
break [3] and revised the RDF schema in the light of comments from Dave 
and Irene. I took another look at it today and there may be more to do 
of course but an updated version of the schema is now at [4].

Again, there is significant interest and discussion around ADMS in 
Europe and, politically, we need it published as an FPWD if the WG is 
happy to advance it to that stage.

A schema is in place at http://www.w3.org/ns/adms# but this is the old 
one. I'd like to make sure that the version at [4] really is an 
improvement and, if so, make that the live version.

Conformance
===========
Both of these documents include a suggested text for conformance on 
which I would be grateful to receive feedback and, when appropriate, WG 
approval. I *think* it's what the group decided on the call we had a few 
weeks back with Rufus but it needs WG review.

Thanks

Phil.
