Also, SKOS, unless care is taken to import the Owl-DL version, brings
you into Owl-Full, with undesirable consequences for those who wish to
do reasoning.  In early versions of dwcFP, we did include SKOS terms,
but removed them because of the consequences for reasoning. 

SKOS has some nice terms, reuse is a nice idea, but it comes with
significant knowledge engineering consequences.
