RE: QB4ST final issues

Rob, Bill,

I note that there is still a pending Pull Request on the QB4ST specification (from me):
https://github.com/w3c/sdw/pull/932

Can it be merged?

Also note the proposal below to add a note to make section 6 "Vocabulary Reference" explicit that the normative definition of the QB4ST ontology is to be found in the qb4st.ttl file, and that the spec only contains excerpts. Could you look into it?

We should be able to issue a final call for consensus to publish QB4ST as a final Working Group Note once that is done. 

Thanks,
Francois
