about the skos mapping of vocabularies

Hi PA, All,

One  question, form a non-specialist, to answer PA's comment at the  
last teleconf: he said, if I understood correctly, that it might be  
very hard to have an API using mappings defined in SKOS. The  
Cliopatria API [1] (also described more extensively in papers like  
[2]) seems, again to my understanding, to be using vocabularies and  
vocabularies mappings (in SKOS) to access and display the metadata of  
objects from different collections, described with their own  
description schema. Would Cliopatria be an interesting API to have a  
closer look in out own case?

Best regards,
Véronique
