Do you mind your use case being made public on the working group website and documents?
no

Section 1. Application
================================================================
In this section we ask you to provide some information about the application for which the vocabulary(ies) and or vocabulary mappings are being used.
Please note:
-- If your use case does not involve any specific application, but consists rather in the description of a specific vocabulary, skip straight to Section 2.
-- If your application makes use of links between different vocabularies, do not forget to fill in Section 3!
1.1. What is the title of the application?
Experimental WebService for the TGN: http://www.digipark.at/webservice/documentation/
1.2. What is the general purpose of the application?
select subtrees from the TGN for indexing and search assistence
What services does it provide to the end-user?
"getSubtree"-method as described in the WSDL: http://www.digipark.at/webservice/thesaurus/tgn_v10.wsdl
*1.3. Provide some examples of the functionality of the application. Try to illustrate all of the functionalities in which the vocabulary(ies) and/or vocabulary mappings are involved.
Look at Test cases at: http://www.digipark.at/webservice/documentation/
1.4. What is the architecture of the application?
Webservice generated by the AIT-Web Service Generator: http://193.80.249.126/webservice/wsdl-creator-dev/
What are the main components?
model driven generation of: WSDL-Files, soap-server components and client stubs (tree/list-view)
Are the components and/or the data distributed across a network, or across the Web?
yes
1.5. Briefly describe any special strategy involved in the processing of user actions, e.g. query expansion using the vocabulary structure.
will be part of of an RAD-environment for the generation of SOA-compliant object management systems following the MVC-paradigm.
1.6. Are the functionalities associated with the controlled vocabulary(ies) integrated in any way with functionalities provided by other means? (For example, search and browse using a structured vocabulary might be integrated with free-text searching and/or some sort of social bookmarking or recommender system.)
embedded in the highly parametrized "getSubtree"-method
1.7. Any additional information, references and/or hyperlinks.
================================================================
Section 2. Vocabulary(ies)
================================================================
can be applied to every monohierarchically structured vocabulary (table on which the WS-generation is based must have a self reference to the parent node; eg 'subject' in TGN)
NB: most of the remaining questions can be anserwed by referring to the TGN.
AIT has developed thesaurus management tools which can be used as components to OS-CMS Joomla.
eg: http://www.media-alp.at/ (navigation tree in left column)
In this section we ask you to provide some information about the vocabulary or vocabularies you would like to be able to represent using SKOS.
Please note:
-- If you have multiple vocabularies to describe, you may repeat this section for each one individually or you may provide a single description that encompasses all of your vocabularies.
-- If your use case describes a generic application of one or more vocabularies and/or vocabulary mappings, you may skip this section.
-- If your vocabulary case contains cross-vocabulary links (between the vocabularies you presented or to external vocabularies), please fill in section 3!
2.1. What is the title of the vocabulary? If you're describing multiple vocabularies, please provide as many titles as you can.
2.2. Briefly describe the general characteristics of the vocabulary, e.g. scope, size...
2.3. In which language(s) is the vocabulary provided?
In the case of partial translations, how complete are these?
*2.4. Please provide below some extracts from the vocabulary. Use the layout or presentation format that you would normally provide for the users of the vocabulary. Please ensure that the extracts you provide illustrate all of the features of the vocabulary.
2.5. Describe the structure of the vocabulary.
What are the main building blocks?
What types of relationship are used? If you can, provide examples by referring to the extracts given in paragraph 2.4.
2.6. Is a machine-readable representation of the vocabulary already available (e.g. as an XML document)? If so, we would be grateful if you could provide some example data or point us to a hyperlink.
2.7. Are any software applications used to create and/or maintain the vocabulary?
Are there any features which these software applications currently lack which are required by your use case?
2.8. If a database application is used to store and/or manage the vocabulary, how is the database structured? Illustration by means of some table sample is welcome.
2.9. Were any published standards, textbooks or written guidelines followed during the design and construction of the vocabulary?
Did you decide to diverge from their recommendations in any way, and if so, how and why?
2.10. How are changes to the vocabulary managed?
2.11. Any additional information, references and/or hyperlinks.
================================================================
Section 3. Vocabulary Mappings
================================================================
In this section we ask you to provide some information about the mappings or links between vocabularies you would like to be able to represent using SKOS.
Please note:
-- If your use case does not involve vocabulary mappings or links, you may skip this section!
3.1. Which vocabularies are you linking/mapping from/to?
*3.2. Please provide below some extracts from the mappings or links between the vocabularies. Use the layout or presentation format that you would normally provide for the users of the mappings. Please ensure that the examples you provide illustrate all of the different types of mapping or link.
3.3. Describe the different types of mapping used, with reference to the examples given in paragraph 3.2.
3.4. Any additional information, references and/or hyperlinks.
