Dear all, Following the demise of rdfs.org [1] and INSIGHT's statement of intent to maintain vocab.deri.ie [2], we need to update the specification document at http://www.w3.org/TR/void/ The current version [3] points to the rdfs.org namespace of course. I've created a GitHub repository for the SWIG [4] and, within that, have had a first pass at updating the voID document [5]. The offer remains on the table to host the VoID vocabulary at www.w3.org/ns/void. At the time of writing, vocab.deri.ie remains unavailable. The major change is, of course, the change in namespace, but there are many references in that document that are out of date so I've had to do more than just search and replace the namespace URI. For example, since VoID was written, RDF 1.1 has been finalised etc. Changes are listed in the change log at the end of the document. The W3C process for updating the document is pretty simple in this case [6]. We just need to make sure that members of this Interest Group - i.e. this mailing list - are content with the changes and then Dan, as SWIG chair, can call a vote (by e-mail). The doc in the GH repo has a suggested date for the new publication of 18 August but there's no need to feel tied to that. If you want write access to the repo, please just let me know your relevant ID. Suggestions for improvements are welcome of course. HTH Phil.
