Tracking SKOS issues
SKOS issues formally under consideration can be tracked from the Web page http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/products/3, where issues are linked to relevant mailing-list postings automatically and on an ongoing basis.
SKOS issues may be proposed using optional the [SkosProposalTemplate SKOS Proposal Template] in accordance with the "Process for Issues Lists" (http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/IssuesProcess).
SKOS Use Cases and Requirements [ACTIVE]
This document describes use cases and requirements, written for anyone interested in the design and functionality of SKOS.
- Editors: Jon, Daniel, Antoine
NEW -- Working Group Note 18 August 2009: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-skos-ucr-20090818/
SKOS Use Cases and Requirements, Working Draft 16 May 2007, http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-skos-ucr-20070516/
All the material, including original and edited Use Cases, can be accessed from UCRMaterial
The reference list of current SKOS requirements is on UCRMaterial/RequirementUris.

SKOS Test Cases [NOT ACTIVE]
This document provides an initial set of test cases to establish the sufficiency of SKOS for representing various examples of concept schemes. Also provides an additional set of test cases for applications implementing the SKOS specification, to demonstrate conformance with respect to valid inferences and consistency checking. Written for the designers of SKOS and for designers and implementers of SKOS applications.
- Editor: Sean
SKOS Reference (Normative Specification) [ACTIVE]
Abstract: This document defines the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a common data model for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems via the Semantic Web. // Many knowledge organization systems, such as thesauri, taxonomies, classification schemes and subject heading systems, share a similar structure, and can be used in similar applications. SKOS captures much of this similarity and makes it explicit, to enable 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. SKOS also provides a light weight, intuitive language for developing and sharing new knowledge organization systems. It can be used on its own, or in combination with formal knowledge representation languages like the Web Ontology Language (OWL). // This document is the normative specification of the Simple Knowledge Organization System. It is intended for readers who are involved in the design and implementation of information systems, and who already have a good understanding of Semantic Web technology, especially RDF and OWL. // For an informative guide to using SKOS, see the SKOS Primer.

SKOS Primer [ACTIVE]
Abstract: SKOS — Simple Knowledge Organization System — provides a model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, folksonomies, and other types of controlled vocabulary. As an application of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) SKOS allows concepts to be documented, linked and merged with other data, while still being composed, integrated and published on the World Wide Web.// This document is an implementors guide for those who would like to represent their concept scheme using SKOS.// In basic SKOS, conceptual resources (concepts) can be identified using URIs, labelled with strings in one or more natural languages, documented with various types of notes, semantically related to each other in informal hierarchies and association networks, and aggregated into distinct concept schemes.// In advanced SKOS, conceptual resources can be mapped to conceptual resources in other schemes and grouped into labelled or ordered collections. Concept labels can also be related to each other. Finally, the SKOS vocabulary itself can be extended to suit the needs of particular communities of practice.// This document is a companion to the SKOS Reference, which gives the normative reference on SKOS.
