In the new order of document maintenance, I edit the master
text files; the text files are used as the authoritative
source for correcting the RDF schemas by hand; and the RDF
schemas are then used to update the registry.
Some of us are experimenting with a script that generates RDF
directly from the text files. If this works, it will automate
the work-flow, so that any changes I make in the master text
file can automatically be reflected in the registry.

Hand-checking will never be an efficient way to propagate
these changes. A solid conversion script and clear work-flow
should solve this problem.
