[Buildingdata] Re: Levels (Dammit)

[Christopher Gutteridge]

the skos:notation expects that the datatype of the string is the URI of 
the datatype for that scheme. So where I only use one for buildings, one 
for rooms, it may make sense for data.ox to have several. It then copes 
with two schemes clashing...
