DPV 2.0 Beta Release - feedback period till 31 July

Hi.
On behalf of the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community 
Group (DPCG), I'm happy and proud to announce that we have a DPV 2.0 
Beta Release https://github.com/w3c/dpv/releases/tag/dpv-2.0-beta with 
an open feedback period until July 31. Contribution guide: 
https://github.com/w3c/dpv/wiki/Contribution-Guide. If there are no 
major issues identified, we plan to 'formally' publish DPV 2.0 on August 
01 through the W3C publishing process.

DPV 2.0 is a major release with 2198 classes and 196 properties across 
DPV and its extensions that significantly improve and expand the scope 
and usefulness of what was already an amazing state of the art resource 
in DPV 1.0. To further support dissemination of this resource, we have 
https://www.dpvcg.org/ as a simple (marketing) URL for sharing 
information about DPV which provides links to all the specs. The 
development repo for management of code and issues is on GitHub: 
https://github.com/w3c/dpv. A search index of all concepts from DPV and 
its extensions is available at: https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/search

== Summary of Changes
See full changelog https://w3c.github.io/dpv/2.0/changelog

=== Major Changes

The following are the major changes:

. Change in Ontology IRI: DPV 2.0 introduces versioned IRIs
e.g. https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0 refers to 2.0 and https://w3id.org/dpv/1.0
refers to 1.0. The versionless IRI https://w3id.org/dpv will now always
point to the latest version of DPV (which is 2.0 for this release)
https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-iri
. Change in semantics: The '`default`' DPV specification now uses
RDFS+SKOS to declare its semantics. DPV using OWL2 semantics is now
provided within the same folder with a -owl prefix
https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-semantics
. Change in Scope: The scope of 1.0 concerned processing of personal
data and DPV concepts concerned only this scope. In 2.0, the scope has
been expanded to include non-personal data and technologies so that
concepts such as dpv:Purpose can be used to describe more use-cases
https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-scope
. Change in repo structure: The folder structure of the
https://github.com/w3c/dpv has been changed to reflect the
versioned IRIs. The two folders 1.0 and 2.0 contain the respective
versions https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-repo
. Change in extension names: Various extensions have been renamed and
re-organised for consistency by removing the dpv- prefix e.g. dpv-pd
extension in 1.0 has been renamed to pd. New extensions have been added
to DPV e.g. AI, LEGAL-US, and EU-AIAct and earlier draft extensions have
been further refined e.g. RISK and TECH
https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-repo
. Do I need to update or change something? Mostly no, except in specific
cases. https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-implementation
. Change in concepts: In total, DPV 2.0 and all its extensions contain
2662 concepts, and compared to 1.0 - 1017 concepts have been added and
805 concepts removed. The count of added and removed concepts include
moving concepts between extensions
https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-terms
. Development process: The development process for DPV has changed to
reflect best practices and improvements identified. This includes
changes to the way releases are generated by only using the `+dev+`
branch for ongoing developments and not changing the `+main+` branch
except for releases https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog#change-dev

== Release Artefacts

Unlike DPV 1.0, there is only a single `dpv.zip` file containing all
relevant artefacts for the release. This includes both the default
_RDFS+SKOS_ serialisation as well as the _OWL_ serialisation - which is
present in the same folder with suffix `-owl` in the filename. The
folders also contain _CSV_ serialisations of concepts (so please do not
use any other CSVs found in the repo as they are not
'`production-ready`').
