Re: vocabularies for parliamentary proceedings

Kingsley:

Thanks for your comments. We're in the process of upgrading the Open
Metadata Registry, and you suggestions will be considered as we proceed
with the upgrade. For the moment, we're applying our limited resources to
managing the vocabularies we have, pushing on the upgrade and gathering
feedback. So we thank you!

BTW, the remaining LII US Legislative Model properties and classes now
appear at: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/69.html.  All have
the status of 'published', so the URIs should be considered stable.
