Namespaces

Just a quick comment on namespaces.

We need to be clear about the difference between "a label" and a particular 
label such as an ICRA label.

Kal has suggested 2 namespaces in the ruleset work, rule and uri. These are 
both very generic and should ideally be on the w3.org ___domain. Is this 
possible do you think Dan? If not, I'll set up a purl or two (and actually 
host it on icra.org but that won't be obvious).

Do we need two Kal? If we take your proposal and _just_ have 'matches' 
(dispensing with beginsWith, endsWith, contains and hasURL) then that just 
leaves a single thing for the uri namespace? Perhaps it can be included in 
rule or am I mixing too much up here?

The namespace for the specifically ICRA bit will be

http://www.icra.org/labelsv03/rdfs/#

Note the word labels, not ratings as we have used previously. (Politics gets 
everywhere. A label is meant to be objective, a rating is a subjective 
interpretation of the objective facts).
