Comments from the community

• Comment by BobHanisch (29 Sept 2008)
  • In general I find this document to be well-organized, and I think it is a useful addition to IVOA standards.
  • I think the language of "a proposal" all needs to be taken out, however. The assumption is that the document becomes a standard, and when referred to in this context, language like "the proposed standard" and "the purpose of this proposal" does not make any sense.
  • Agreed: I've adjusted the text accordingly, in the repository (see revision 802) (NormanGray)

• Comment by Antoine Isaac, one of the authors of the SKOS Primer, 30 Sep 2008 (via Norman). Antoine made some on-list comments on the SKOS content of the Vocabularies document.
  • Agreed: I've adjusted the text accordingly, in the repository (see revision 802), except for the issue about notations, which I'm following up on that list (NormanGray)
  • Resolved to Norman's satisfaction, at least (see eg W3C SWD list and thread). See Volute revision 806.
