Cross posting to iCal / RDF-dev mailing lists. I thought I could share with you this first collection of tourist industry naming conventions from the Swedish National Tourist Board. There is a lot of work to be done on it, before it becomes an RDF schema translation map. We are working feverishly to get it into a workable structure before it is presented to a gathering of European tourist Orgs in Brussels on the 21st of this month. We would like anyone's opinion on the following matter: Our original intention was to use English as a metadata vocabulary. Any language group wishing to map their language to the schema could do so against the English list. But in viewing the current Swedish - English map, we already see lots of semantic incompatibilities. The other possibility that might be more appealing to some non-English speaking nationalities, is giving each term a code number - like Dewey Decimal. This would let each language choose which other language they would like to map against. But this could cause more ambivalence Time is short since this is supposed to be up and running in Europe to the end of the year. Greg FitzPatrick SKiCal WG
