The OWL file

The original development file for AS2 was an OWL file.

I don't think it was ever edited after James Snell created the first 
JSON-LD context file.

But it's been in the Activity Streams 2.0 repository on GitHub since it 
was created.

We get occasional requests to make changes to it to bring it into line 
with the JSON-LD context doc. Some LinkedData developers seem to prefer 
using it.

We had a new issue filed this week about it, and on the issue triage 
call we came up with a novel solution: move the file to its own 
repository in the SWICG namespace, and let people who are interested in 
using and maintaining it work on the project.

The new repository is here:

https://github.com/swicg/activitystreams2-owl

Big appreciation to Emelia Smith for getting the process rolling. We've 
already had one PR applied.

I had removed the file from the w3c/activitystreams repo, but Ben 
Goering pointed out that it probably needed more consensus and a 
discussion here.

So, let's discuss!

I'd love to see this unofficial file maintained and updated. I think 
moving it to a repo where people in the LD community can maintain it is 
a great solution.
