Effective conversion of LCSH to SKOS RDF demonstrated
Enhanced linked data accessibility for library vocabularies
Discussion on extending SKOS with additional semantic web vocabularies
Abstract
A technique for converting Library of Congress Subject Headings MARCXML to Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) RDF is described. Strengths of the SKOS vocabulary are highlighted, as well as possible points for extension, and the integration of other semantic web vocabularies such as Dublin Core. An application for making the vocabulary available as linked-data on the Web is also described.
