Common Modelling Slips in SKOS Vocabularies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following our analysis of SKOS vocabularies publicly available on the Web, we found several types of ‘irregularity’ in some of the vocabularies’ representation [1]. We have considered these ‘defects’ as slips made by vocabulary engineers when authoring the vocabularies. In many cases these slips are apparently due to either syntactic error or accidental misuse of the SKOS core vocabulary. In this paper, we present a typology of these slips, and describe possible patches that can be applied to deal with the problems. By ‘patching’ these slips, vocabularies can be adjusted to conform to the SKOS standard and thus enable the usage of SKOS tools/applications.

The Current State of SKOS Vocabularies on the Web
We survey the current state of SKOS vocabularies on the Web. We identified 478 SKOS vocabularies, which were gathered through collections and web crawling. Analyses were then conducted that included investigation of the use of SKOS constructs; the use of SKOS semantic relations and lexical labels; and the structure of vocabularies in terms of the hierarchical and associative relations, branchin...
متن کاملFinding Quality Issues in SKOS Vocabularies
The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a standard model for controlled vocabularies on the Web. However, SKOS vocabularies often differ in terms of quality, which reduces their applicability across system boundaries. Here we investigate how we can support taxonomists in improving SKOS vocabularies by pointing out quality issues that go beyond the integrity constraints defined in the...
متن کاملImproving the Quality of SKOS Vocabularies with Skosify
Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) vocabularies are commonly used to represent lightweight conceptual vocabularies such as taxonomies, classifications and thesauri on the Web of Data. We have analyzed 14 such vocabularies and found most of them to contain structural errors. Our tool, Skosify, can be used to automatically validate SKOS vocabularies and correct many problems, helping to ...

Vocabularies are the building blocks of the Semantic Web providing shared terminological resources for content indexing, information retrieval, data exchange, and content integration. Most semantic web applications in practical use are based on lightweight ontologies and, more recently, on the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) data model being standardized by W3C. Easy and cost-effici...
متن کاملEstablishing a Multi-Thesauri-Scenario based on SKOS and Cross-Concordances
With the standardization of SKOS 1 (Simple Knowledge Organization System) in August 2009 a data model has been offered to publish controlled vocabularies and taxonomies on the web in a technical and semantically interoperable way. The heterogeneous environment of various vocabularies worldwide can be technically harmonized prospectively and especially the content of traditional databases can be...
