Understands that in a formal sense, a SKOS concept is not an RDF class but an instance and, as such, is not formally associated with a set of instances (“class extension”). – Linked Data for Professional Education https://ld4pe.dublincore.org Learning resources tagged by competency Thu, 19 Nov 2020 14:45:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.16 SKOS and Linked Data https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/skos-and-linked-data/ Sun, 06 Aug 2017 07:58:04 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/skos-and-linked-data/ This slideshare presentation introduces SKOS and explains how it can be used to represent RDF in a simple way. It explains how SKOS differs from OWL a more formal system of semantics. Along the way, basic Linked Data Principles are explained. Includes links to references and demos, which explain the benefits of using SKOS as well as areas that need to be developed further.

]]> Introducing SKOS https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/introducing-skos/ Fri, 05 May 2017 06:59:13 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/introducing-skos/ SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) is a model for expressing knowledge organization systems in a machine-understandable way, within the framework of the Semantic Web. The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an RDF application. SKOS Core provides a model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes, including thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, terminologies, glossaries, and other types of controlled vocabulary. This article provides some examples for using SKOS and discusses the general principles of building such knowledge bases.

]]> From SKOS over SKOS-XL to Custom Ontologies https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/from-skos-over-skos-xl-to-custom-ontologies/ Mon, 28 Nov 2016 05:58:41 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/from-skos-over-skos-xl-to-custom-ontologies/ This webinar explains how taxonomy management based on Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) can be extended with SKOS-XL, based on W3C's Semantic Web standards. See how SKOS-XL can be combined with ontologies like the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO). After covering these core concepts, the speaker moves on to a demonstration of the Pool Party Semantic Suite's SKOS-XL editor.

PoolParty's built in reference corpus analysis based on powerful text mining helps to continuously extend taxonomies. Its built-in co-occurence analysis supports taxonomists with the identification of candidate concepts.

PoolParty Semantic Integrator can be used for deep data analytics tasks and semantic search. See how this can be integrated with various graph databases and search engines.

]]> SKOS: Past, Present, Future – and a little bit of History, Architecture and Engineering https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/skos-past-present-future-and-a-little-bit-of-history-architecture-and-engineering/ Tue, 10 Nov 2015 05:13:00 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/skos-past-present-future-and-a-little-bit-of-history-architecture-and-engineering/ This lecture discusses SKOS as a common data model for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems via the 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, enabling 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. Also available as PDF:

]]> The Role of SKOS in a Web of Data: Some Business Use Cases https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/the-role-of-skos-in-a-web-of-data-some-business-use-cases/ Sun, 04 Oct 2015 05:32:27 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/the-role-of-skos-in-a-web-of-data-some-business-use-cases/ Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a rising star in the Linked Data world because it is able to link different visions of the Semantic Web. This video presentation explains how enterprise information integration and enterprise search applications can benefit from SKOS-based thesaurus management in combination with Linked Data.

]]> Who Needs SKOS-XL? Maybe No One https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/who-needs-skos-xl-maybe-no-one/ Tue, 15 Sep 2015 02:33:10 +0000 https://ld4pe.dublincore.org/learning_resource/who-needs-skos-xl-maybe-no-one/ This blog post from "Voyages of the Semantic Enterprise" discusses the following issues and invites feedback: The SKOS-XL extension to the W3Cs SKOS standard for vocabulary management adds flexibility in how you track concept names, but it adds complexity and potential confusion that are rarely, if ever, worth it. Without a doubt, these issues play a role in the fact that while the use and tool support for SKOS is growing, there are few if any tools for SKOS-XL or published SKOS-XL vocabularies. An even more important factor is the lack of compelling business value that would justify SKOS-XL complexity.

The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) has become one of the sweet spots in the Linked Data ecosystem in recent years. Especially when Semantic Web technologies are being adapted for the requirements of enterprises or public administration, SKOS has played a central role in the creation of knowledge graphs.
