Ontology Overview

Name: SKOS
Description: SKOS is an area of work developing specifications and standards to support the use of knowledge organization systems (KOS) such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading systems and taxonomies within the framework of the Semantic Web.
Purpose: To provide a lightweight high level linking across multiple concepts.

Justification SKOS seems to strike a good balance between very weak notions used in library science and the stronger extensional notons embodied in OWL and RDF set-based class theories. SKOS has been used successfully in several other high-level ontology efforts, notably UMBEL. Although shallow and formally weak, the SKOS concept suite is well designed, and the use of OWL notions such as transitive subproperties is well thought out and elegant.
