Well I don't know in absolute, but for the sake of the argument I assume 
it's the same. A "query reformulation service" would for instance take a 
(query) concept as input, and deliver a bunch of specialized concepts to 
re-send against a query engine. "standard" here that he would use 
standard SKOS information, e.g. skos:broader
