| historyNote: | 2010-11-27 SMR update URN to http URI, create version 201202 |
| historyNote: | 2010-02-11 Add narrower relationship links by adding skos:narrower link in Protege, defining skos:narrower as inverse of skos:broader, calculating with Pellet reasoner to add inferred axioms, and using 'file/Export inferred axioms as ontology' in Protege. |
| historyNote: | 2012-02-07 SMR update URI to replace numeric final token with English-language string as in original URN scheme. |
