Assessing and Improving SKOS Mapping Quality
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is popular for expressing controlled vocabularies for their use in Semantic Web applications. Using SKOS, concepts can be linked to other concepts and organized into hierarchies inside a single terminology system. Meanwhile, expressing mappings between concepts in different terminology systems is also possible with SKOS mapping properties. This poster discusses potential quality issues in using SKOS to express terminology mappings. Problematic patterns are defined and corresponding rules are developed to automatically detect situations where the mappings either result in ‘SKOS Vocabulary Hijacking’ or cause conflicts. The validation rules, expressed in N3 format, are available as open source.

Validation Rules for Assessing and Improving SKOS Mapping Quality
The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is popular for expressing controlled vocabularies, such as taxonomies, classifications, etc., for their use in Semantic Web applications. Using SKOS, concepts can be linked to other concepts and organized into hierarchies inside a single terminology system. Meanwhile, expressing mappings between concepts in different terminology systems is also po...
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 ...
متن کاملBestMap: Context-Aware SKOS Vocabulary Mappings in OWL 2
This paper describes an approach to SKOS vocabulary mapping that takes into account the context in which vocabulary terms are used in annotations. The standard vocabulary mapping properties in SKOS only allow for binary mappings between concepts. In the BestMap ontology, annotated resources are the contexts in which annotations coincide and allow for a more fine grained control over when mappin...
متن کاملLibrary of Congress Classification as linked data
In 2009 and in 2011, the Library of Congress made two of its largestauthority files –Subject Headings and Names available as linked data via LC’slinked data service, id.loc.gov. Both are offered in MADS/RDF and SKOS. It isLC’s objective, in 2012, to publish another of its largest authority files as linkeddata: LC Classification. However, whereas the source records for Subject He...
