Astronomical vocabulary explorer

[Franck Le Petit]

	Dear Alasdair and others of the Semantics WG,

	We are building a vocabulary that will be used in the Simulation  
Datamodel.  Semantics is required for several "keywords":
	- Physical processes
	- Algorithms
	- Simulated Object
	- ...

	An idea was, on one hand to use A&A keywords for Physical Processes  
(eventually to complete it ) and, on the other hand, to use The  
Ontology of Astronomical Objects (for Simulated Object). We would also  
have to do our own vocabulary for Algorithms.

	Up to now we have several lists of keywords.

	May you tell me what is the best way to implement this ? Should we  
do .RDF files ? And if yes, is there any tool to do it easily, I mean  
to facilitate the entries and the relationships between words ?

	Best regards
	Franck
