At XTech 2005, I missed the SKOS talk*. Bummer. While walking to the tram, I asked DanBri about a "hello world" use of SKOS, and he told me about blog categories and the skos:narrower term. I was starting to swap it in, but still lacked a working knowledge of SKOS. Then I saw that Norm re-did his blog concept hierarchy in SKOS... http://norman.walsh.name/2005/06/01/skos --> http://norman.walsh.name/knows/taxonomy and my way of learning things is to hack; i.e. to check my understanding by seeing if I can communicate it to the computer. So I took my circles-and-arrows tools http://www.w3.org/2001/02pd/ and made a rule-based stylesheet for SKOS... or at least for skos:narrower and skos:prefLabel http://www.w3.org/2005/06/skosgram/skosgram.n3 mix per the Makefile in http://www.w3.org/2005/06/skosgram/ and out comes... http://www.w3.org/2005/06/skosgram/ndwtax.svg http://www.w3.org/2005/06/skosgram/ndwtax.png OK, kinda boring, but a little bit fun, no? I still haven't read the SKOS docs carefully, but I'm starting to understand how it works, and I thought you'd appreciate the experience report, even if it isn't directly a comment on the text of the docs. * paper seems to be SKOS: A language to describe simple knowledge structures for the web http://idealliance.org/proceedings/xtech05/papers/03-04-01/ I don't see slides nor an entry in the conference wiki.
