چکیده

The Spatial Information Services Stack Vocabulary Service (SISSVoc) is a Linked Data API for publishing vocabularies. SISSVoc provides a RESTful interface via a set of URI patterns that are aligned with SKOS. This provides a standard web interface to any controlled vocabulary structured using, or decorated with, SKOS classes and properties. It can be consumed via web clients as human-readable resources (such as HTML) and by client applications through machinereadable resources (such as RDF, JSON, and XML). SISSVoc is implemented using a Linked Data API façade over a SPARQL endpoint. The use of the Linked Data Approaches streamlines the configuration of content negotiation, styling, query construction and dispatching. SISSVoc is being used in a number of projects, mainly in the environmental sciences, where controlled vocabularies are used to support cross-domain and interdisciplinary interoperability. The SISSVoc standard interface makes it possible for the development of common client applications such as search clients and validation clients.

Establishing 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...

LCSH, SKOS and Linked Data

A technique for converting Library of Congress Subject Headings MARCXML to Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) RDF is described. Strengths of the SKOS vocabulary are highlighted, as well as possible points for extension, and the integration of other semantic web vocabularies such as Dublin Core. An application for making the vocabulary available as linkeddata on the Web is also described.

Finding 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...

Improving 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 ...
