Re: SKOS concept scheme URIs as values for constraints

Miika, at this stage I am not sure how to best proceed with this 
discussion, and on what mailing list. I was hoping that we can reduce 
cross-posting and interested parties would hook into the WG mailing list 
and annotate their subject lines with ISSUE-80, which would make the 
history of the discussion better traceable. I didn't want to 
over-engineer the process, and the ISSUE page on our tracker doesn't 
need to list all sub-issues explicitly.

Thanks,
Holger
