I downloaded it (the earlier release) too and played with making a calendar
schema.
It took me some time to get into it.

When looking at the first results of my tinkering the first thing I noticed
was
that any subclass of protogé:Thing was declared to be such. So my file
full of my local concepts has a pointer back to stanford as well as pointers
back to the RDFS concepts.

 <rdf:Description rdf:ID="#Calendar">
  <rdf:type
resource="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/PR-rdf-schema-19990303#Class"/>
  <rdfs:subClassOf
rdf:resource="http://smi-web.stanford.edu/projects/protege/pr
otege-rdf/protege-19992012#Thing"/>
  <protege:abstractProperty>concrete</protege:abstractProperty>
 </rdf:Description>

(From http://www.w3.org/2000/calendar/clendar.rdfs which is not a serious
effort in any way - just a play with protege and full of junk)

In fact the fact that from Protogé's point of view  something is a subclass
of Thing
is of course information-free.  It should therefore be omitted from the
serialization.

The sooner we get an RDF property  desperateNeeds:equivalent then of course
we can
start to use the relationship between protege:thing and rdf:resource

That all depends on whether it gravitates to a community consensus and a
weblike
way of working - with community feedback and source code - or whether it is
an output-only project! ;-)  So far, things are looking good as seen from a
gret distance.
