Re: Creating vocabularies - tools videos, and best practices?

Hi Harry,

Did you check out the collaboration features of PoolParty
(http://www.poolparty.biz/)? It supports suggestion of new terms for
inclusion into thesauri that can then be accepted or rejected by
authorized users (e.g., thesaurus managers). From the
vocabulary-development perspective it also supports ontologies like
FOAF, Geonames, and you can also create your custom data schemas, so
you're not bound to SKOS. It is easy to use and there is even an
academic licensing model available.

best,
Christian
