Re: [SKOS] tracking SKOS issues

Hi Tom,

As an additional concern about the issues. I have noticed that when 
Alistair moves the issues from the sandbox to the tracker, he forgets 
the existing links between them and candidate (or accepted) 
requirements, as found in the use case and requirement working draft. 
For example ISSUE-37 CustomExtension [2] was linked in the sandbox [3] 
to R-SkosSpecialization

 I would suggest to keep these links (and actually to write them in a 
cleaner way that it was in the sandbox, since they are broken there). 
For example [2] should be linked to the corresponding item from the UCR 
working draft [4] (yes, I've put IDs there!). I think this is very 
useful when the requirement has already been defined, and has a 
different name (Alistair actually changed them). I propose just to add 
the corresponding link in the description of the issue.

Cheers,

Antoine
