SKOS as ontology? #11

Closed JoachimWackerow closed 10 years ago

JoachimWackerow commented 10 years ago

What are the advantages or disadvantages to have a SKOS controlled vocabulary as ontology? Example: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms/ADMS_v1.00/ADMS_SKOS_v1.00.ttl https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms/ADMS_v1.00/ADMS_SKOS_v1.00.html

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that it is an addition to represent a SKOS CV as ontology. An advantage could be a better processing by tools that usually accept only OWL compliant data, e.g. LODE.

Exactly, that was the experience with LODE. SummaryStatistics was not shown but the SKOS CV ADMS. On the other hand tools like SKOS Play should also work. ADMS seems to have problems there.

This could result in some testing to achieve a version which works in both tools.

Can you think of any possible disadvantages of representing SKOS CV as ontology?

We will not represent the SKOS CVs as ontologies in order to ensure a processing by SKOS tools.
