Per our 1/15/2019 meeting:

• The comment period isn't over until January 28th, which doesn't leave enough time to ensure that all of the properties and classes for this are well-vetted in order to meet a February release.
• We have assigned the "Release - Subsequent" milestone to this, with the likelihood that this will be ready in March.

@stuartasutton We discussed last week adding several of the above classes to the domain of ceterms:description, but it seems we didn't explicitly list them out. Would it be correct to apply it to all of the classes that we added to the domain of ceterms:name?

[stuartasutton]

Yes, that would be appropriate...name and description as standard fare.

[siuc-nate]

I've updated pending CTDL and the posts above.

[siuc-nate]

These changes have been noted in the history tracking.

[siuc-nate]

per @stuartasutton:

The following will become vs:unstable when this release of the schema goes live:

• ceterms:alternativeRuleSet
• ceterms:RuleSetProfile
• ceterms:RuleSet
