Hi, As part of the Semantic Web Advanced Development for Europe (SWAD-E) (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/) project, myself and my colleagues are developing an RDF schema for representing thesaurus data. This schema and the underlying datamodel may be of interest, as it looks like they overlap considerably with the data and model being developed in the Glossary project. The current state of the schema can be found here (http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/thesaurus/tif/tif.html) with a link to a document describing the work so far done (http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/thesaurus/tif/deliv81/final.html). This work is ongoing, and comments and feedback are very welcome at this stage. We are also beginning development of an open API for thesaurus (terminology) web service. At this stage we are looking for well-defined use-cases relating to web applications of thesaurus & terminology data. Any interest and/or contribution to this most welcome also. Yours, Alistair Miles.
