Namespaces
European Union's ISA Programme working on creating/identifying Core Vocabularies.
These will re-use a lot of existing terms - trying very hard not to reinvent the wheel.
However… some new terms need to be minted and the documentation needs to be permanent.

http://joinup.eu/isa/core-vocabularies/person#

http://coreperson.org/ns#
Such a site could have a 'living will' - a third party agreeing to take on the domain permanently if the current owner is unable to do so.
