Re: Whisper from the sidelines...

Hello Phil, all

Thank you for your guidance. I guess point 3 is to ensure backwards 
compatibility of the vocabulary now that is has been published in W3C space?

Having multilingual labels would be great for this vocabulary. It 
shouldn't be too hard to add a few languages. I would be happy to 
provide Dutch labels. What would be the best way to organize this? Using 
the wiki?

Regards,
Frans
