Hi Lukas, >> Interesting subject. I agree with Ed that organisations should try and use existing vocabularies & ontologies (by the way, can someone explain the difference if there is any? thanks) first. > > Vocabularies is used both for value vocabularies (the right-hand "object" side of the triple) and for ontologies (the middle "predicate"), so it is confusing. I try to say "value vocabularies" for the former, but it's convenient to use "vocabularies" when you mean both, thus continuing the general confusion :-) In fact there's even a small piece of text which elaborates on our choices: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Library_terminology_informally_explained#Definitions Please bear with us, the topic is quite complex, and we had to make some choices... Cheers, Antoine
