RDF Vocabularies

SKOS includes the following RDF vocabularies (RDF schemas):

• SKOS Core [RDF/OWL Description]
  

  An RDF vocabulary for describing concept schemes (thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, terminologies, glossaries and other types of controlled vocabulary).

• SKOS Mapping [RDF/OWL Description]
  

  An RDF vocabulary for describing mappings between concept schemes.

• SKOS Extensions [RDF/OWL Description]
  

  An RDF vocabulary containing extensions to SKOS Core useful for specialised applications.

See also the specifications and documentation page for guidance on usage of these vocabularies.

Note that the SKOS Mapping and SKOS Extensions vocabularies are experimental and should be considered to be highly unstable at the moment.
