This document reflects decisions that were made just after having received the use cases, at the beginning of 2007. The requirements were subsequently examined as issues by the Working Group, which decided on actions to take—or not—in order to close them. The final status of the issues mentioned in this document is accessible via the SWD Issue Tracker, at http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues.] Removed: @@ Some requirements are linked to issues that are still being examined by the Working Group, as found on the wiki site http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SkosIssuesSandbox. @@ Sub-sections 3.1, 3.2: For each requirement, a "Corresponding issue" link to the Issue Tracker was added.

In the following months, the Working Group had to make a final decision regarding the candidate requirements, either accepting them or rejecting them. It of course had then to adapt the existing SKOS material so that it could meet the accepted requirements.]
