Thank you very much, everyone involved! A big kudos to the wonderful Editors of R2RML and DM, my co-chair and all the WG members, early ones and the ones who pulled through to the very end!

Now, the real work starts: the success of a standard is, IMHO, measured by the uptake. We have now a stable proposal on the table and need to convince industry players and end-users alike that it is worth investing in this piece of infrastructure.

Link long and prosper!

Cheers,
	   Michael
