Title: SKOS, Simple Knowledge Organisation System

 

Material characteristics:

  • Level of specialisation: Intermediate 
  • Interaction: Self-learning
  • Learning activities: N/A
  • Material type: Grey literature
  • Target Audience: Broad
  • Teaching medium: Digital
  • Time of publication: 2010-2015 (ISA)

Description:

The publication of controlled vocabularies represented in SKOS on the Web brings the following advantages:
De-referencing: the principles of Linked Data requires each term in the controlled vocabulary to be identified by a corresponding term URI based on the HTTP protocol. The term “Taxonomy” in the “Asset Type” scheme has for example the following term URI: . This means that when someone else encounters such a URI, he can look up its meaning by entering the URI in the address bar of his browser. This is called de-referencing. This is simple yet powerful feature of the Web.
Machine-readability: In the example of “Taxonomy”, the user can use the term URI to retrieve both a machine-readable and human-readable file containing definitions, labels, and related concepts for this term expressed in SKOS. SKOS is a W3C Recommendation and commonly used representation format for controlled vocabularies. Well-known controlled vocabularies such as EuroVoc have been expressed using an ontology that extends SKOS.
Multilingualism: SKOS allows to associate labels and definitions in multiple languages to any concept. This means that we can associate the labels “taxonomie”@FR, “Taxonomie”@DE, or “taxonomia”@PT to the concept identified with URI http://purl.org/adms/assettype/Taxonomy to include the French, German, and Portuguese labels. At the moment, only English is available, but the ADMS Working Group is seeking help in translating these SKOS labels and definitions in multiple languages.
