If we are to add what is effectively harvesting functionality to the thesaurus, then we would likely return skos encoded data as is, from which some client app would be able to build a thesaurus browser if required. If time permits we may demonstrate how this would work against our own demo thesaurus service implementation. For example either by layering Protege on top of our service for browser-based views on the data, or developing prototype viewer implementations that we already have.
