[SKOS] redirection pages for Quick Guide and Mapping Vocabulary

Hello everyone,

On the following actions [1]:
ACTION: Antoine draft intermediate pages for the legacy SKOS Core documents referring readers to the new specifications [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/07-swd-minutes.html#action04]
(this action was targetting the "Quick Guide to Publishing a Thesaurus on the Semantic Web", http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-thesaurus-pubguide)

and:

ACTION: Antoine draft intermediate pages for http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping/spec/2004-11-11.html referring readers to the new specifications [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/07-swd-minutes.html#action05]
(this action was targetting the "SKOS Mapping Vocabulary Specification", http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping/spec/)

I have put two draft pages attached http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SkosDeprecationPages

Note that this only partially solves the issue: these two new pages, as well as the existing "deprecation" pages [2] and [3], mention a "SKOS 2008" version of SKOS. Now that the Rec will be published in 2009, and that there is no new 2008 namespace for the SKOS vocabulary, we might want to update all these pages altogether with a "SKOS 2009" brand :-)

Regarding Alistair's mail below, I would be slightly in favor of having an intermediate redirection page for http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/mapping/spec/. It's very little effort to produce, and it makes more explicit what has happened to the old mapping voc!

Cheers,

Antoine
