I was wondering what the canonical URI for SKOS should be, the one I've been using and the one that's on the page of the official SKOS recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/) at the W3C is:
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#

But there is also the other URI which is mentioned in an Appendix of the recommendation which I have seen used in the wild in Linked Data esp. BBC
http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#

Which I believe to be an old URI mentioned in one of the working drafts but is used in the BBCs linked data. Of these two which is the one people would expect to be used.

In my own work I map data from the BBC into the first URI since that's the URI my application expects - is this sensible or should I be using the alternative (or should the BBC use the first one)?

As you mention http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core# is the canonical one. The BBC acknowledge they are using an obsolete URI and hopefully will change it soon.
