Re: Vocab terms for owner, validFrom and validUntil

Why should another empty term end up in the RDF vocabulary?  (My view is that 
they shouldn't.)

Why shouldn't these terms go in some community-curated vocabulary, i.e., 
something like foaf, or some other kind of vocabulary, i.e., something like 
skos?  (My view is that they should go into some place like these.)
