Abstract:
The proliferation of distributed digital libraries and
repositories has increased the need for improved interoperability
between terminologies in order to facilitate user access to the discrete
heterogeneous digital objects held therein. The emergence of the Simple
Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) Core is a useful development
in this context. In this paper we describe a SKOS Core approach to
implementing a web services (i.e. M2M) terminology server employing
terminology mapping and using SKOS Core to wrap terminology
responses. Aspects advantageous to this approach are explored, as are
issues and areas for future research.
