Dear Juan, Thanks a lot for the contribution. I guess the ontology can be used as a useful starting point for creating an machine-readable version of what is specified in the correspondence table. I'm happy to see that Johan already reacted to it. About the Primer: it would be really great if you could make a parallel update of your Spanish translation! Let's wait till this commenting period to take further--coordinated--action. I'm sure editors of other translations can give a hand, too!

The design is based on a careful analysis of the new standard. Following the same we conclude that ISO 25964-1/2 is practically impossible to map correctly with SKOS in the most important aspects. > > The goal of the ontology we are designing is to make a bridge between the ISO and SKOS model. In fact the model proposed by ISO lacks adequate semantics for drawing inferences. > > In my opinion we should consider several points: > > * First, SKOS is being so used because of its simplicity. SKOS provides all the basic principles of knowledge organization systems. ISO includes all cases of use in the design of a thesaurus starting from the most complex case. The current "core" of SKOS need not be modified. > > * Second, the data model of ISO 25964-1/2 is very focused on storage of thesaurus data in a relational database. > > * Third, instead of changing SKOS, an extension could be designed similar to SKOS-XL (SKOS-ISOTHES?). This extension should include (mainly) the compound equivalence of concepts, labeled semantic relationships and mappings relationships described in 25964-1/2. > > It would not be necessary to include a errata, as the basis of SKOS still based on ISO 2788/5964. Maybe, designing an SKOS extension based on ISO 25964-1/2 could be a solution that maintains interoperability of SKOS applications that have been made so far. > > Best Regards, > Juan > > 2012/10/27 Antoine Isaac <aisaac@few.vu.nl <mailto:aisaac@few.vu.nl> <mailto:aisaac@few.vu.nl <mailto:aisaac@few.vu.nl>>> > > Dear all, > > ISO 25964-1, published in 2011, replaced the previous thesaurus standards ISO 2788 and ISO 5964 (both now withdrawn). Members of the Working Group responsible for ISO 25964 have gone on to consider the implications for SKOS users. They have developed a set of linkages between the elements of the ISO 25964 data model and the ones from SKOS [1], SKOS-XL [2], and MADS/RDF [3]. This new "Correspondence between ISO 25964 and SKOS/SKOS-XL models" document can be accessed at [4] and aims at replacing the previous table presented in the SKOS Primer [5]. > > We therefore suggest to add the following erratum to the SKOS Primer [6]: > [ > Errata for SKOS Primer > > - [ISO-Correspondences] (XX Nov 2012) > The 2009 version of the SKOS Primer includes a correspondence table between SKOS and the ISO-2788/5964 thesaurus standards: > http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/____NOTE-skos-primer-20090818/#____seccorrespondencesISO <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/__NOTE-skos-primer-20090818/#__seccorrespondencesISO> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/__NOTE-skos-primer-20090818/#__seccorrespondencesISO <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-skos-primer-20090818/#seccorrespondencesISO>>. > This table is made obsolete by the publication of a new thesaurus data model in ISO 25964.
