RE: Draft SKOS Scheme

I just wanted to add, this schema corresponds to the 2008-01-25 SKOS
Reference. I've done some automated checking on the schema and the reference
and am confident that the two are in agreement. If you're interested, the
scripts I used to do the checking are at
<http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080125-resources/>.

Note in particular that this schema is *not* an OWL DL ontology. It's OWL
Full mainly because of the use of some SKOS documentation properties and DC
Terms properties to annotate the SKOS classes and properties themselves.
There may also be an issue with RDF list. It *may* be possible to make the
SKOS schema an OWL DL ontology without contradicting the SKOS reference, so
if this is important to you, speak now.

Cheers,

Alistair.
