RE: Best API to consume SKOS data

Dear Philippe,

Semantic Turkey is a RDF service platform for Knowledge Management and Acquisition…and fruition :-)
http://semanticturkey.uniroma2.it/


The API of this platform are adopted by VocBench, a Semantic Web collaborative editor for OWL ontologies, SKOS and SKOS-XL thesauri and Ontolex lexicons  and RDF dataset in general
http://vocbench.uniroma2.it/


The API of Semantic Turkey (and the functionalities in VocBench) cover generic RDF management, while having specific facilities (i.e. specific API and UI) for OWL, SKOS, SKOS-XL, Ontolex, EDOAL and metadata vocabularies such as VoID, LIME, DCAT, DCAT-AP, ADMS etc.. so, in case you need to expand to other models, you can use the same platform.

Furthermore, there’s an additional work still waiting for release, for fruition only, and with a UI working on these API. Despite pending release, it has an already working implementation. The name’s PMKI (temporary name, as this is the project name and most probably the tool will have a dedicated one).

https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/publications/public-multilingual-knowledge-infrastructure-pmki-poster_en

GIT: https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/pmki-portal


Download: https://bitbucket.org/art-uniroma2/pmki-portal/downloads/


It’s meant to be a fruition-specific complement to VocBench, with specific services such as index-based cross-project search.

Development is still very active on both VocBench and PMKI (and obviously, on their backing platform Semantic Turkey), under funding from the ISA2 EU programme: https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/


Kind Regards,

Armando

Bonjour Philippe

I have a fairly good experience with Skosmos, however I don't have any experience in using or integrating its API.
It is from my point of view the best tool to make SKOS data available easily for humans and machines. Browsing interfaces are super nice and you immediately get something usable, with decent trees, listing, search with autocomplete, feedback form, content negociation, etc. if you combine this with a dump export of the SKOS data and/or a SPARQL endpoint, you get a fairly good dissemination layer of your KOS. Besides, it's in PHP, so easily hackable. See http://vocabularies.unesco.org and http://data.legilux.public.lu/vocabulaires/ and https://www.reseau-canope.fr/scolomfr/data/fr/ for 3 deployments of Skosmos I conducted.
JSKOS is not at the same level since it is a specification, not a software (correct me if I am wrong). One combination I see could be to complement Skosmos with an export in JSKOS format to ease usability of the KOS for Javascript developpers, if you are targeting this community.
I don't know OpenSKOS, looks like it provides OAI-PMH, which could be nice.

Hi,

The Canadian Heritage Information Network has produced a LOD vocabulary based on SKOS and we are now looking to provide an API to consume our dataset.

For the moment, we have JSKOS, SKOSMOS and OpenSKOS on our radar but we would like to get some user reviews before going forward.

If you have already used one of these APIs or another one, I would appreciate to get your feedback to help us in our decision.

I’m using this mailing list for the first time, I hope my question is relevant for this group.

Best,
