Hello All, Does anyone in the SKOS community have experience of using the OMG's SBVR ("Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules") standard (see http://www.omg.org/spec/SBVR/1.0/PDF/)? I ask because I lead a working group which is developing ISO 25964, the international standard for Thesauri and Interoperability with other Vocabularies. When an early draft of Part 2 (which deals with mapping between thesauri and other types of vocabulary) was circulated within the ISO system, someone commented that we ought to consider mapping to SBVR. (The vocabularies we already consider include classification schemes, taxonomies, schemes for records management, name authority lists, terminologies and ontologies. But not SBVR.) It is not clear whether SBVR is relevant. I'm not aware that it has any applications in information retrieval. But SBVR is new to all of us in the Working Group, and I wonder if you could advise or point us to any relevant applications. Why would a thesaurus want to be mapped to SBVR? Or to an SBVR vocabulary? Thanks for any pointers!
