SKOS versión of UNESCO Thesaurus

Dear all:

We report about the availability, for browsing and downloading, of SKOS
version of *UNESCO Thesaurus*. For the preparation of this dataset we used
[1] and [2]. The URL is:

http://skos.um.es/unescothes

We adopted a a model of publishing Linked Open Data that implements some
features used previously in the UNESCO Nomenclature dataset (
http://skos.um.es/unesco6):

* Browse and search descriptors and non-descriptors
* Interface and content in four languages (English, Spanish, French and
Russian).
* Content Negotiation (RDF/XML, N3, Turtle, JSON and JSON-LD).
* RDF dataset avalaible in Turtle and  RDF/XML.
* Dataset description with VoID.
* SPARQL Endpoint.
* Semantic markup using RDFa 1.1.

You can contact me directly (pastor@um.es) if you have any questions or
suggestions, or if you detect any malfunction or in translation. Your
comments are very useful in providing a better service to the Unesco
Thesaurus.

This project forms part of the Research Group of Information Technology
activities at the University of Murcia and the UNESCO Chair in Information
Management Organizations and hope will be the starting point in conducting
a series of activities involving the management information in the world
knowledge transfer.

Kind regards,
Juan
