Hi, I'd like to suggest the creation of a new "undefined" URI scheme. It would be useful for any property that has to be defined as a URI, such as with RDF, but such property doesn't fit in any existing scheme nor has any well defined meaning associated with it like for example that of an RDF ontology. Roughly, the meaning would be that there exists such property but which meaning/scheme/context is not defined, so the user using it can interpret it however he likes, possibly by guessing the meaning.

Example: <undefined:sensor-1>
         <undefined:length/vh>

The closest thing to this that I could find is the <tag:taggingEntity:specific> scheme but the problem is that with this scheme the "taggingEntity" is mandatory, I cannot use for example <tag:sensor-1>. So I guess making the "taggingEntity" optional could also work instead of defining a new scheme, although <undefined:> would be more clear in my opinion.

Thanks and sorry I've never contributed to this list before so I hope my request makes sense.
