A good technique to promote a “standard” is to count the number of known implementations (the expectation for W3C working groups is to have at least two known implementations for each ontology or vocabulary elements). So, it is important to give enough information in the XKOS specification on known implementations as a mean to help readers to make their own judgment call on the maturity of the proposed specification as a whole or for the sub-parts they are interested in.
ISTAT and INSEE have shared a lot more information on what to do with XKOS in relationships and why/how they are using it (publications at the Semantic Stats workshop, work in the UNECE High Level Group on Modernising Statistics and more recently during the ESS Workshop on dissemination of official statistics as open data organised by the ESS.VIP DIGICOM in January 20177 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cros/group-content/11410/cros_document_en )
It is possible to find examples of classifications (from INSEE, ISTAT and also from the material supplied for the SemStats 2016 challenge)
