Visibility opportunity

I'm the "Semantic Technologies Co-ordinator" for the European  
Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) [1] for next year. In practical terms,  
this means co-ordinating the publication of metadata describing the  
conference program, papers, participants, events etc. This has been  
done in the past using RDF with RDF or OWL schemas [2]. We'll most  
likely continue with this, but it may be an opportunity to push out  
SKOS -- much of this fits the "Pattern A" use case, with annotation  
of objects (papers, people, events) with topics from a vocabulary.

So two questions:

1) Anyone interested in helping with this activity?

2) Are there existing SKOS versions of thesauri like the ACM  
computing classification that would be appropriate for this purpose?

Cheers,

	Sean
