I am happy to announce here a complete beta version of the "Thesaurus for Economics (STW)". It is available under http://zbw.eu/beta/stw As an RDFa application, it is built from a SKOS representation of the thesaurus and aims to provide an interlinking hub for economics resources on the web of linked data. Therefore the vocabulary will be published under a CC (by-nc-sa) license in the very near future. Some technical background can be found at http://zbw.eu/beta/stw/versions/latest/tech_background/about.en.html. As some things has changed since the first tech preview (especially a seperate namespace for SKOS vocabulary extensions has been introduced) and the large dataset may reveal some new issues, I would be happy to receive more feedback. Particularly about the URI design and the approach to versioning (preserving the concept's identity but providing "historical data" for human lookup) - but all comments about how the usefulness of the application could be increased are highly welcome.
