<p>The key class is <code>rov:RegisteredOrganization</code> and it is this class that represents a single business that became a
legal entity through a formal registration process. It is a sub class of <code>org:FormalOrganization</code> that covers
-any legal entity, however created. The sub class relationship allows us to use the Organization Ontology's <code>org:hasRegisteredSite</code> to link a registered business

<p>As well as defining the <code>rov:RegisteredOrganization</code> class, this
vocabulary also makes use of classes defined elsewhere: the <code>adms:Identifier</code>

+<h2>Change Log</h2>
+<p>Multiple changes have ben made since the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-vocab-regorg-20130108/">previous version</a> of
+RegOrg. These have been made to align the vocabulary more closely with other GLD WG outputs, notably DCAT and ORG. In particular
+<code>dcterms:created</code> has been replaced with <code>dcterms:issued</code>, and <code>dcterms:alternative</code> has been
+replaced with <code>skos:altLabel</code>. The UML diagram is aligned with that used for ADMS and, in the same way that ADMS is
+defined as a profile of DCAT, RegOrg is now defined as a profile of ORG.</p>
+<p>The use of the term 'company type' was seen as being too restrictive for other types of registered organizations such as charities
+so that <code>rov:companyType</code>, <code>rov:companyActivity</code> and <code>rov:companyStatus</code> have been replaced with
+<code>rov:orgType</code>, <code>rov:orgActivity</code> and <code>rov:orgStatus</code> respectively.</p>
