Hi, Norman, I think it is Sarah Emery Bunn you'd want:

This started with a suggestion of mine a couple of years ago, which Franck Le Petit reanimated earlier this year, and which he supported with a brief workshop at Meudon in September.

Eventually, I hope, these SKOS concepts will be named with URIs chosen for persistence (I favour purl.org URIs, but this is TBD).
