Vocabularies document PR -- ready for TCG review

[Norman Gray]

Greetings, all.

The Vocabularies document has completed its RFC period, and I have  
released a slightly amended PR document, at version 1.16.

The document is at <http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/Vocabularies.html 
 >.

This is now ready for TCG review, and I have updated the RFC page at <http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VocabulariesRFC 
 >

This document includes a normative reference to the W3C SKOS standard  
[std:skosref], despite the fact that, at the time this present PR was  
published, the SKOS document was still a W3C Working Draft and thus  
formally a "work in progress". The SKOS document is expected to become  
a W3C Recommendation at the end of December 2008, and at that point we  
will issue a minor update to this present document referring to the  
finalised SKOS standard. The core part of the SKOS standard which this  
standard refers to (that is, the concept schemes, documentation and  
intravocabulary relationships) are stable, and are extremely unlikely  
to change before Recommendation. The only outstanding SKOS issue which  
is likely to have a material effect on this document is that the SKOS  
namespace may change to a different URL.

Best wishes,

Norman
