For those interested in browsing the vocabularies, as well as the html versions published with the vocabularies, there is a web service for searching and exploring the concepts. This has been updated to use the latest PR versions of the vocabularies and is available from http://explicator.dcs.gla.ac.uk/WebVocabularyExplorer/

Cheers,

Alasdair
