Hi all, Together with the University of Applied Sciencies in Cologne, the German National Library currently develops a mapping from the German Subject Headings Authority File (SWD) [1] to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) [2]. The work is being done within CrissCross [3], a part of the European project MACS [4] with the aim to produce a mapping between the SWD, the LCSH [5] and the French RAMEAU [6]. Part of the project assignment is to investigate the possibility to publish those mappings on the semantic web. This could be one application of the SKOS Mapping Vocabulary. Are there any plans to continue the development of SKOS Mapping? (I know that the work on SKOS Mapping was put on the back burner in order to finish SKOS Core). If yes, would it help if we published one or two use cases based on our projects and the data we use in them? Best regards and thanks for any hints, Lars [1] http://d-nb.de/eng/standardisierung/normdateien/swd.htm [2] http://www.oclc.org/dewey/ [3] http://d-nb.de/eng/wir/projekte/crisscross.htm [4] https://macs.vub.ac.be/pub/ [5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCSH [6] http://rameau.bnf.fr/ -- Dr. Lars G.
