- QUOTE: ... SKOS Core is a model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, 'folksonomies', other types of controlled vocabulary, and also concept schemes embedded in glossaries and terminologies.
The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an application of the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF provides a simple data formalism for talking about things, their properties, inter-relationships, and categories (classes). Using RDF allows data to be linked to and/or merged with other RDF data by Semantic Web applications. In practice, this means that data sources can be distributed across the web in a decentralised way, but still be meaningfully composed and integrated by applications, often in novel and unanticipated ways. See RDF Concepts for an overview of RDF, RDF Semantics for its formal mathematical basis, and RDF Syntax for details of the RDF/XML document format used to exchange RDF data.
