SKOS and PROV are medium complexity models defined by external standards organisations.
Reuse of common implementations avoids incompatible solutions, and enables development of tools and libraries that exploit these models, such as validators, display widgets, transformers and "AI skills". Not replicating these patterns, and referencing them, means tools can potentially automatically identify the opportunities to exploit commonality and richer behaviours.
OGC has also identified a need and created implementations for these:
Note these are in ogcincubator and yet to be formally published, the opportunity is to engage and promote these to formal published status, supporting interoperability across ecosystems and further promoting effective encapsulation and reuse as a design principle for data models.
The OGC maintains a Joint Working Group with W3C, so CDIF could engage here under the umbrella of OGC and/or W3C to sponsor and publish the reusable components it needs.
