draft PR request

All,

Here is the draft PR request for SKOS.

Guus



Director,

The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group requests transition to Proposed 
Recommendation for

     SKOS Simple Knowledge Organization System Reference
     [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-skos-reference-20090317/

The updated editor's draft can be found at:

     [2] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20090315/  (Revision 1.13)

The record of the WG decision to requests this transition is at:

     [3] http://www.w3.org/2009/05/19-swd-minutes.html#item03

No substantive issues were raised during CR, though a few comments resulted in 
editorial clarifications to the specification. Changes from the Candidate 
Recommendation version are given in the "Changes"  section of editors draft:

     [4] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20090315/#changes

There were no features at risk.

The requirements have not changed since Candidate Recommendation.

This specification has no normative references to W3C specifications that are 
not yet Proposed Recommendations.

The Groups' implementation report [5] notes 27 implementations with a broad 
coverage of SKOS features.  All comments have received formal responses; these 
are recorded in the issue tracker [6]. The specification has therefore met the 
CR exit criteria.

     [5] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20090315/implementation.html
     [6] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues

There have been no formal objections.

There have been no changes to the patent disclosure pages since the transition 
to Candidate Recommendation. There are no open exclusion opportunities.
