Dear SKOS-lovers, the Thesaurus for the Social Sciences (TheSoz) is an interconnected vocabulary in English and German on the social sciences, which contains about 11,600 entries and covers topics of all social science disciplines and related or interdisciplinary connected topics. Its publication aims at providing a vocabulary for resources relevant for or related to the social sciences on the web of Linked Open Data. The thesaurus is maintained by the GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and is published under a Creative Commons (by-nc-nd) license. It is published as a SKOS RDF/XML dump version which can be downloaded at <http://www.gesis.org/en/services/tools-standards/social-science-thesaurus/>. (Please scroll down the page!) The thesaurus is furthermore available via a SPARQL endpoint at <http://multiweb.gesis.org/thesoz/sparql>. This is a very early version (v0.2) and we're looking forward to get some feedback for future improvements. Further details about the conversion of the TheSoz to SKOS can be found in the GESIS technical report 2009/07, available at <http://www.gesis.org/fileadmin/upload/forschung/publikationen/gesis_reihen/gesis_methodenberichte/2009/TechnicalReport_09_07.pdf>.
