ISSUE-203: SKOS Implementation: SKOS API http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/203 Raised by: Sean Bechhofer On product: SKOS Described in [ http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Apr/0084.html ] * Name of Software: SKOSEd and SKOS API * Person/organisation responsible: Simon Jupp, University of Manchester, UK. * Availability/URL: SKOSEd is open source and the code is available from http://code.google.com/p/skoseditor/ SKOS API is written in Java and source code and Jars are available here http://skosapi.sourceforge.net/ * License: GNU Lesser General Public License * Can the software read SKOS data? SKOSEd and SKOS API support reading SKOS data in a variety of formats including RDF/XML, Turtle, OWL/XML, OWL Functional Syntax, Manchester Syntax. The SKOSEd plugin reads all SKOS constructs but only provides internal representations for constructs that are valid OWL 2. For example, SKOSEd does not support the use of lists required to represent OrderedCollections. * Can the software write SKOS data? SKOSEd supports writing SKOS data in a variety of formats including RDF/XML, Turtle, OWL/XML, OWL Functional Syntax, Manchester Syntax. The SKOSEd plugin allows creation of all SKOS constructs that are valid OWL 2. * Can the software check consistency of SKOS data with respect to the SKOS data model? SKOSEd supports checking the logical consistency of a vocabulary with respect to the SKOS data model semantics. * Description: SKOSEd is a plugin for the OWL ontology editor Protege 4 [1]. It has support for viewing, creating and editing vocabularies represented in SKOS. SKOSEd extends Protege 4 to provide a suite of views that are more useful and offer extended functionality to SKOS users, this includes a hierarchy view that exposes the SKOS Concept broader/narrower hierarchy. Other features include the ability to view entailments computed by the reasoners available for Protege 4, and the ability to interact with and extend the underlying OWL data model for SKOS. SKOSEd is built on top of the SKOS API. The SKOS API provides an abstracts Java interface for the constructs defined in the SKOS data model. An implementation of these interface is provided via the OWL API (http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/). This affords many benefits which include: 1 - Access to a wide range of parsers and renderers 2 - Access and extend the underlying OWL representation of the SKOS data model 3 - Supports popular description logic reasoners for consistency checking and computing entailments. * Publication: To be published - Simon Jupp, Sean Bechhofer and Robert Stevens.
