Last I heard the Semantic Web Deployment Working Group had decided not to change the namespace due to the amount of existing SKOS data in the wild already [1]. So you should be OK using: http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core# To be on the safe side just be sure to only use classes and properties that are available in the SKOS Reference [2]. I agree that from the sounds of it your application would it would be a really nice use of the SKOS vocabulary. Also, feel free to join the public-esw-thes discussion list [3] if you have some questions about SKOS that you'd like to target at current SKOS developers/users. //Ed [1] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/153 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/ [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/
