At this point, all of the historical versions
of the term declarations, past and present, are
documented in an XHTML document (not an RDF schema!) at
http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/.  URIs like

    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#title-001
    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#title-002
    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#title-003

are anchors to successive historical versions of term
declarations (you can click on them).  In that document,
"Version:", "Replaces:", and "Is Replaced By:" use those
anchors to point to the current, prior, and subsequent
versions respectively.

There is no reason this data could not _also_ be expressed
in an RDF schema, but deciding on the model for doing so
would take a significant effort on this list and elsewhere.
For starters, I should think we would want to understand
how applications would actually want to use the versioning
information.

alternative-002 is actually the _current_ version -- the
same one as in the RDF schema.  This is in effect analogous
to how documents are versioned on the DCMI Web site:

    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/
    and
    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/2003/02/12/

are (currently) the same version of a document,
just as

    http://purl.org/dc/terms/alternative
    and
    http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#alternative-002

are (currently) the same version of an element.

Creating scheme classes automatically has been suggested
before.  However, it's not clear to me what scheme classes
provide that could not just as well be achieved by merging
statements of the form:

    dcterms:MESH dcu:qualifies dc:subject
    dcterms:LCSH dcu:qualifies dc:subject

(...where dcu:qualifies is defined in a putative Usage Board
vocabulary as meaning "is encoding scheme for")?
