With a well-thought-out and well-publicized extension methodology that
provides clear guidance for the local usage of a vocabulary as to how it
should extend the core vocabulary, and under what circumstances. Also
how extensions should be fed back to the governance body (there should
be one!) for consideration for incorporation into the core vocabulary.
UBL has a nice Working Draft [1] for "Guidelines for the Customization
of UBL Schemas" that one might find interesting and useful.
Kind Regards,
