The XML dev mailing list has been discussing the licensing terms for the patent Since Elliote Rusty Harold made a recommendation of the rejection of the specification.

GILS subset of the Basic Semantics Register (with stylesheet)
This RDF schema contains GILS schema elements as registered in the ISO Basic Semantics Register (BSR). It defines a hierarchy of RDF Classes rooted to the BSR concept "InformationResource" (RDF Classes are roughly equivalent to BSR Semantic Components). The RDF schema also defines for each GILS element an RDF Property (RDF Properties are roughly equivalent to BSR Semantic Units).
