WHY SKOS-XL?
Use Cases for Taxonomies
based on SKOS Core + SKOS-XL
3

4.
SKOS is used
for taxonomy
management
in many
different
industries
▸ SKOS Core
With SKOS Core, only concepts can be used as resources;
labels are only ‘attached’ to concepts and cannot be described in more detail
or related to each other

US$

5.
With SKOS-XL,
labels can
become
resources
▸ SKOS-XL - the main addition
to SKOS Core
With SKOS-XL, each label can become a resource.

6.
Use Cases for
SKOS-XL
▸ Introduce attributes for labels
With SKOS-XL, each label can have specific attributes,
e.g. ‘isSymbol’ or ‘isISOcode’, etc.6

7.
Use Cases for
SKOS-XL
▸ Put labels in a context
With SKOS-XL, each label can have specific relations,
e.g. information about provenance, etc.7

8.
Use Cases for
SKOS-XL
▸ Relate labels to each other
With SKOS-XL, each label can have specific relations,
e.g. ‘isPredecessor’, ‘translates’, etc.8

Use Cases for
SKOS-XL
▸ Relate labels to each other
With SKOS-XL, each label can have specific relations,
e.g. ‘isPredecessor’, ‘translates’, etc.9

10.
Use Cases for
SKOS-XL
▸ Multiple and consistent
(re)usage of labels
With SKOS-XL, each label can be (re)used at multiple points of a
thesaurus. This helps to keep a taxonomy even more consistent
while labels are used in various contexts.
