This is not to be secretive but to satisfy issues related to IP and dealing with feedback from users. You can read more about this at http://astrothesaurus.org, in particular see the blog and "contact us" pages to request the skos version.

You'll be happy to know that Norman has been involved from the get-go but additional IVOA participation will be much appreciated going forward.  For one, we could use some advice and help with setting up a distributed curation platform for the thesaurus, as we have discussed a few times with Norman.
