-- Absolutely. In re-reading my response, I feel it is a little less
than perfectly articulate, to say the least. Sorry for that.
In any event, I can't give enough props to Adam Soroka for jumping in
with the perfect email, which is why I've now referenced it twice (one
here).
Yours,

I think the question of publishing vocabularies (as well as publishing
an extension) is part of that. I could see this extending to best
practices for "naming" (e.g. URI/IRIs), and perhaps even a bit about
documenting.
Great topic!

Dear Karen,
I think that "how extensible RDF is" would be a very good topic. I'm
not talking about the theoretical extensibility of RDF, but how to do
it in a practical manner. That is, if you have a role, or some other
relationship, for example, and you want to use it. Linked Data
provides a facile way to assert one's own value/entity/resource so
long as it is asserted so that others can readily learn what you mean,
by publishing it so that it is HTTP acceesible.
This issue, for me, has come up on a number of occasions, but the most
recent convo I had about this was on the BIBFRAME listserv. I do hope
it is OK that I trot this out here:

I'm thinking about training needs around linked data -- yes, that
includes basic concepts, but at the moment I'm wondering what specific
technologies or tasks people would like to learn about? Some obvious
examples are: how to do SPARQL queries; how to use triples in databases;
maybe how to use Protege (free software) [1] to create an ontology.
Those are just a quick shot across the bow, and from my basically
non-techie point of view. Please add your own.
If you can't say it in terms of technology, it would be as good (if not
maybe better) to say it in terms of what you'd like to be able to do (do
searches, create data... )
This is very unscientific, but I think it's a worthwhile conversation to
have, and maybe can help get some ideas for training.
