Description
Skosify is a tool for creating and improving SKOS vocabularies. It was created to allow easy conversion of thesauri and thesaurus-like ontologies from various RDF, OWL and "mostly-SKOS" formats into good quality SKOS.
The program is a command line tool that accepts any RDF file as input and tries hard to make it conform to SKOS conventions. Optionally, it can map RDFS/OWL Classes into SKOS concepts and hierarchical rdfs:subClassOf relationships into skos:broader/skos:narrower relationships. It also performs some structural validation on the result and attempts to fix many common problems.
