Thanks; at least I won't continue to probe your archives for further background. :) I will also not give further attention to skosext.

(BTW, the listing of metadata schemas was *very* helpful, but it's interesting that the repository has dropped from 898 sources to 225 in 18 mos, and very little use outside of OAI and the LOC at that!) > > You should ask Mark, really.

Do you know if Mark still monitors this forum, or should I make outreach directly?
