--sG8J87ZWEqg9bmqgrWDqh9o-EZDlXwluoegnAxj Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working Group We are pleased to announce the publication of the SKOS Reference as a W3C First Public Working Draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/ This is a substantial update to and replacement for the previous SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification W3C Working Draft dated 2 November 2005 [1]. We ask at this stage feedback and reviews on this draft specification. All comments are welcome and may be sent to [email protected]; please include the text "SKOS comment" in the subject line. Note especially that there are a number of open issues, which are indicated in the document. Please forward this announcement to any other groups which may be interested. Abstract: """ This document defines the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a common data model for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems via the Semantic Web. Many knowledge organization systems, such as thesauri, taxonomies, classification schemes and subject heading systems, share a similar structure, and are used in similar applications. SKOS captures much of this similarity and makes it explicit, to enable data and technology sharing across diverse applications. The SKOS data model provides a standard, low-cost migration path for porting existing knowledge organization systems to the Semantic Web. SKOS also provides a light weight, intuitive language for developing and sharing new knowledge organization systems. It may be used on its own, or in combination with formal knowledge representation languages such as the Web Ontology language (OWL). This document is the normative specification of the Simple Knowledge Organization System. It is intended for readers who are involved in the design and implementation of information systems, and who already have a good understanding of Semantic Web technology, especially RDF and OWL. For an informative guide to using SKOS, see the upcoming SKOS Primer.
