Re: Normative SKOS Vocabs

I also created an OWL ontology to model the SDGs.  My goal was much less
ambitious, I just wanted a basic way to model the goals, tasks, and
indicators. In fact I used a spreadsheet on the UN SDG Data Portal to
automate the creation of the ontology. I describe the process I used to
build the ontology (as well as a link to the github site) here:
https://www.michaeldebellis.com/post/unsdg-ontology  And the system that
used the SDG is called Daan Match. It is a prototype from friends at
Berkeley to show how to use the SDGs to connect donors and NGOs. We've
published two papers on Daan Match as well as a book chapter that is due
out soon, The papers are available here:
