Re: Concurrent namespaces for Creative Commons ontology

Interesting ... it figures that the authoritative namespace for cc has been
indeed http://creativecommons.org/ns#, for at least two years and certainly
more.
But since there is no mention of the new namespace whatsoever at
http://web.resource.org/cc/ <http://web.resource.org/cc/license>, people can
keep using it without being aware of any change. I would be curious to have
people behind Music Ontology for example explaining why they keep using the
old namespace.
