agenda+ naming our specifications

Hi all,

I would like to discuss, in one of our next meetings, the naming 
convention for the future RDF specifications.

There is some documentation about W3C good practices here:

   https://www.w3.org/2005/05/tr-versions


After discussing with the sys team, having the version number in the 
middle of the short-name (e.g. rdf12-concepts) is possible.

That being said, the current state of RDF recommendations is quite 
messy. For example:
- the 1999 RDF-spec-syntax does not indicate anywhere that a more recent 
version is available
- some specs have only a version-less short name (e.g. rdf-primer), 
which correspond to the 2014 (1.1) version,
   while others have a versioned short name (e.g. rdf11-concepts) for 
the 2014 version, and the version-less short name corresponds to the 
2004 version (e.g. rdf-concepts)

I made a map [1] of the genalogy of RDF specifications, indicating when 
they point to a more recent version, as well as what short names 
correspond to. This is also on github [2].

PS: at some point, it would be interesting to make a similar map for SPARQL
