W3C document: Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies

[Rob Seaman]

A bit dense - the authors seem to think that documentation is  
equivalent to a core dump - and wacky for presentation details, with  
every token highlighted in some distinct way - but contains a lot of  
good information.  They make the distinction between machine- 
processable and human-readable formats - a shame they didn't choose  
the latter themselves :-)
