Re: To use or not to use recommended metadata in a W3C ontology ?

I don't want to debate for years, and I'm well aware that we are not
dealing with a simple research project here, may it be from the EU, or from
any other continent.

Your arguments seem reasonable, although I could make the point that voaf
and vann are not proposed to be *imported*. Hence whenever these ontologies
would disappear from the web, nothing would break.

Anyways.That's 2 against 1 for now, I suggest in the absence of any mail to
this thread within a few days and any change in the balance, I simply
remove these metadata from the ontologies.

I'm also aware that we need to get some consensus pretty fast on the rest
of the integration, and there is a long way to go.
Let's move on to the other metadata and issues ?

Best,
Maxime
