Re: LD Glossary - feedback on form of publishing

Hi Benedikt,
It looks like you hand coded this (incomplete) wiki page?  

I would prefer that we figure out a way to automatically generate it from the WG Note that has been refined by the working group since it is in the w3.org namespace.  I'm concerned about having multiple pages floating around with W3C Linked Data Glossary as the title.

I'm all for making distributions in multiple formats available (CSV, Turtle, XML/RDF), but think they should come from canonical source in w3 namespace IMO.  There is a better to do what I think you're aiming to achieve.

Make sense?

Cheers,
Bernadette

I cannot set up the import of vocabularies for skos or dcat since I am not a user with role Administrator of the GLD wiki. Reusing the vocabularies would be nice, but I think it is not the most crucial part. As I see it, it would only mean to type all terms as skos:Concept and the Linked Data Glossary as a dcat:Distribution.
