And the metadata (AnnotationProperties) I mentioned previously are designed to support the ability manage versioning at the level of nodes and edges. Again - it's just a proposal at this point, but its in recognition of this need you stated more eloquently than I in your previous post on this thread, that many biomedical ontology developers have gradually come to recognize must be addressed. Daniel Rubin has also begun to work with the SKOS developers to help them continue to evolve this resource so we'll also have a annotation standard for managing the variety of lexical elements associated with an ontology. Daniel has been soliciting SKOS Use Cases from those biomedical ontology projects currently making use of SKOS. We're just talking low-hanging fruit here - e.g., we all use the same AnnotationProperties to specify associated synonyms, misspellings, preferred terms, etc..
