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: 2010-11-28 SMR Replace URN identifiers with http URI identifiers according to CGI URI scheme (see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/PersistentIdentifiersInGeoSciMLServices)
historyNote: 2012-02-07 SMR update URI to replace numeric final token with English-language string as in original URN scheme.
historyNote: 2012-02-27 SMR add skos:exactMatch triples associating URIs with number token URI in 201012 version.
