No, I was asking for requirements for a SV. And I haven't seen that either.

Can you point us to the wiki page or other document listing those user requirements. If they are spread across emails or presentations, it would be useful if you could either add them to the use case wiki page I created a couple of days ago or create one of your own. Then the wg can assess the relevance for itself.
Your Note was about a 'Standard Vocabulary': in any discussion of a vocabulary, SKOS and OWL are certainly relevant, more so than UCD-like tokens. (Indeed, maybe it is time to convert UCDs into a more standard form, like SKOS, and drop the tokenised form altogether?)
