Ontolex as an ISO international standard

Dear ontolex community group members,

    I am sorry for my long silence. I intend to start with more or 
regular ontolex soon. I will write an email on this in due time.

Let me start by observing that there is a wide adoption of our model out 
there, which is very good!

It is maybe time to think about moving to the next level of standardization.

As it happens, we have been contacted by ISO with the idea of proposing 
the ontolex model as an ISO international standard.

With this, the ontolex model would become an actual official standard 
and thus gain in visibility.

The chairs would like to know if there are any opinions or objections to 
this. After all, ontolex is the product of a community group and we as 
chairs do not want to take this decision alone.

The copyright of the ontolex specification would not be affected. The 
ontolex spec follows the W3C Community Final Specification Agreement 
found here: https://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/final/

ISO would simply republish the content, but not alter the terms and 
conditions of use.

Best regards,

Philipp and Paul
