I am not sure what the most popular XML vocabularies are but I have done a lot of working with the controlled vocabularies ISO 3166, ISO 4217, ISO 639-2, and FIPS 10-4. In a past life I converted ISO 3166 into Zthes format (ANSI/NISO), and then created transformations for rendering the Zthes into RDF. Anthony Coates from Miley Watts was kind enough to provide a demonstration of how similar transformations could change Zthes into a draft version of OASIS genericode. Zthes XML doesn't specify a namespace but I intend to make modifications to support using GRDDL for tranformations. I will be presenting a paper on 7/14/07 at the Cybernetics and Information Technologies, Systems and Applications: CITSA 2007 Conference where I propose using Zthes and genericode for ISO standards. Also, I will describe using GRDDL to get these XML vocabularies into RDF.
