skos:Concepts in JSON-LD ;-)

jpmckinney commented 9 years ago

Yes, the hard part is determining which concepts to include, which is what the issue is about :)

akuckartz commented 9 years ago

The concepts do not need to be centralized (be specified in the specification) !

jpmckinney commented 9 years ago

Yes, but there is value in people using the same concepts and not constantly inventing new concepts that don't relate to each other, so it makes sense provide a list (or ConceptScheme in SKOS terminology).

Could we add some more to the organization classification?

statutory corporation eg. Petronas (National Oil Corporation)
public limited company eg. Nike Corporation
private limited company eg. Dell Inc.
foundation eg. Knight Foundation
board eg. Board of Directors, Board of Advisers, Board of Trustees etc.
union eg. Construction Workers Union

Why would we want to do this for gov specifications? Cause in Malaysia we have government owned companies in which the executive sits on company boards, so it is still needed.
