Re: Vocabulary description data

Thanks for the response (everyone), but I think I failed to express what
I really meant.
Let me try again.

Lets say we have this triple: foaf:Person owl:sameAs some_vocab:Person
which I think is true, but in neither vocabulary it is stated.
So I publicize this on my webserver.
The problem is how to share this information, so other people see it and
can use it as kind of plug-in to the vocabularies (technically it will
be vocabulary too - only with purpose to supplement the "real"/"full"
vocabularies)

My idea is that you should be able to, in some smart and effective way,
browse all rdf vocabularies on the web, and compose your set of
vocabularies you want to use, and if you do not find vocabulary
describing what you desire, create your own vocabulary (or vocabulary
supplement (again - supplement is a vocabulary too))

I'm not interested in in natural languages in any way.

Thanks,
Jiri
