Guidelines

Enhance semantic interoperability

- Terminology type: thesaurus- Preferably multilingual- Imply international thesauri-standards - Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI)

Europeana Overlegplatform, 7 juni 2013

Guidelines

Enhance technical interoperability

- Extensible Markup Language (XML)- Resource Description Framework (RDF)- Web Ontology Language (OWL)- Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS)

Europeana Overlegplatform, 7 juni 2013

SKOS

- Simplified Knowlegde Organisation System- Created by W3C in format RDF/XML- Allows rich representation of thesauri

- Lexical properties (preferred, alternative, hidden label)

- Semantic relations (broader, related)- Notes (scope notes, definition, editorial,...) - Mapping relations: exact, close, broad, narrow,

A practical tool: TMP

• Thesaurus management: Creation from scratch Automatical import (CSV, XML)

• Export in SKOS/RDF• A web service for collaborative work online• User-friendly GUI• Open-source components: http://www.culture-terminology.org/

• Logically structured • Flexible to be adapted to new standards

Linked Heritage: xTree

• developed by DigiCult Germany • a central, web-based tool to build and maintain• controlled vocabularies (e.g. thesauri, classifications, authority lists, taxonomies) or

administer folksonomies• is semantically interoperable with ISO/DIS 25964-1 (ThesaurusConcept,

ThesaurusArray, ConceptGroup), ANSI/NISO Z39.19-2005, ISO 2788 and DIN 1463-1

• is compatible with the data model of BS DD 8723-5• is usable with common web browser software (e.g. Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 8)• is easy to handle (e.g. drag and drop)• uses the museumvok Webservice• uses SKOS RDF• is built for collaborative work• is developed with Open Source software
